====Tonemic diacritics==== The tonemic system uses the diacritics somewhat differently from the non-tonemic system. The high-mid vowels {{IPA|/eː/}} and {{IPA|/oː/}} are written {{angbr|ẹ ọ}} with a subscript dot, while the low-mid vowels {{IPA|/ɛː/}} and {{IPA|/ɔː/}} are written as plain {{angbr|e o}}. Pitch accent and vowel length is indicated by four diacritical marks: * The [[acute accent|acute]] ( ´ ) indicates '''long and low''' pitch: {{angbr|{{wrap|á é ẹ́ í ó ọ́ ú ŕ}}}} (IPA: {{IPA|/àː ɛ̀ː èː ìː ɔ̀ː òː ùː ə̀r/}}). * The [[inverted breve]] ( ̑ ) indicates '''long and high''' pitch: {{angbr|{{wrap|ȃ ȇ ẹ̑ ȋ ȏ ọ̑ ȗ ȓ}}}} (IPA: {{IPA|/áː ɛ́ː éː íː ɔ́ː óː úː ə́r/}}). * The [[grave accent|grave]] ( ` ) indicates '''short and low''' pitch. This occurs only on {{angbr|è}} (IPA: {{IPA|/ə̀/}}), optionally written as {{angbr|ə̀}}. * The [[double grave]] ( ̏ ) indicates '''short and high''' pitch: {{angbr|ȁ ȅ ȉ ȍ ȕ}} (IPA: {{IPA|á ɛ́ í ɔ́ ú}}). {{angbr|ȅ}} is also used for {{IPA|/ə́/}}, optionally written as {{angbr|ə̏}}. The schwa vowel {{IPA|/ə/}} is written ambiguously as {{angbr|e}}, but its accentuation will sometimes distinguish it: a long vowel mark can never appear on a schwa, while a grave accent can appear only on a schwa. Thus, only {{angbr|ȅ}} and unstressed {{angbr|e}} are truly ambiguous.
