exercise XIII
§ 100 Short sound of iú
Examples—Fiú (few), iúl (ewl), diúr (dewr), ciúl (kewl). At the present we cannot conveniently introduce the few words containing iú into the exercises.
§ 101 Short Sounds of eo and iu
In addition to the long sounds eo and iu have a short sound. The short sound of both can be represented by (yŭ). There are only a few words containing this sound and these few words cannot be introduced at present.
§ 102. It is usual now to write eo and iu without any mark of length over the last vowel; it is to be understood therefore that eo and iu always represent the long sounds given above in §95.
