(b) Two contiguous weak vowels with the accent on the second may or may not form a diphthong.

Ex. Si antes no juras que por ru^in falsía. Hermosilla. [Diphthong.]

Ex. Con sus mil rü|idos, p. 188, LXXIII, l. 19, [No diphthong.]

c. Two contiguous vowels after the accented syllable.

(1) Two contiguous strong vowels after the accented syllable naturally form a diphthong.

Ex. Tú, sombra aére^a que, cuantas veces, p. 170, XV, l. 7.

Diaeresis may be employed to dissolve the diphthong.

(2) If a strong vowel is followed by a weak vowel after the accented syllable, they form a diphthong, e.g. hablaba^is, amara^is.

This diphthong is easily dissolved.

(3) If a weak vowel is followed by a strong vowel after the accented syllable, they form a diphthong, e.g. histor^i^a, ans^i^a.
