umlaute
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Pronunciation: ipa: /ˈʊm.laʊt.ə/
Etymology: From German Umlaute, from um (“around”) + Laute (“sounds”).
Senses: examples: text: It is clear that in all these umlaute the new vowel is exactly intermediate between the original vowel of the root and the modifying one of the termination : if the new vowel became identical with its modifier, the result would be not an umlaut but a complete assimilation.
ref: 1874, English Dialect Society; Publications; № 4, 48, or 60; page 13
text: The umlaute, or sounds of periphasis (ä, ö, ü), exist in the Catawba alphabet, e. g., in ómä, himself; túhö, small; dürûbi, iron; but they are not in frequent use.
ref: 1900, Albert S. Gatschet, “Grammatic Sketch of the Catawba Language”, in American Anthropologist, New Series, v 2, n 3, p 528 ^〃 (self-published by the American Anthropological Association)
text: Other than those of umlaute […]
ref: 1945, United States Government Printing Office, Style manual: Issued by the public printer under authority of section 51 of an act of Congress approved January 12, 1895, page 306 (revised edition; self-published)
text: When processing German text with T_EX one is faced with the following problem: Many German words contain “umlaute” (ä, ö, ü, Ä, Ö, Ü) and/or the sharp S (ß). These letters are normally produced by control sequences (\"a ... \"U or \ss).
A reasonable place for the German umlaute might be the positions ’32 ... ’37 in the Computer Modern text fonts where normally the Scandinavian ligatures are placed.
The creation of the umlaute as described above is just a few lines of code.
It should be noticed that the procedure for handling umlaute as described above keeps T_EX source files portable to other installations.
Many computer users are tempted to use built-in umlaut features that come with Microsoft softwares. However, there are still people who do not use Microsoft compatible computers (like Apple2) and who are not planning to buy a new computer just to be able to read umlaute. My suggestion is that umlaute be written as "a or ae, "o or oe, "u or ue.

Experience and observation alone can enable him to make this determination: to exhibit the principles of beauty pure and unadulterated, and to form a creation of his own, more faultless, than ever fell under the observation of his senses.

In 5, when the scribes latinized the Fr[ench] prefix a- before c to ac-, they servilely did the same with a-curse, whence the false spelling ac-curse.
