English[edit]
Suffix[edit]
-ïng

- skiïng, tryïng
Usage notes[edit]
- Use of the diaeresis where the the last vowel of the suffixed verb does not regularly form a digraph with a succedent ⟨i⟩ may be considered incorrect, as the diaeresis then has no effect on the pronunciation regularly implied by English orthography.
