Slovene Alphabet - Diacritics

Diacritics

The writing itself in its pure form does not use any other signs, except, for instance, additional accentual marks, when it is necessary to distinguish between similar words with a different meaning. For example:

• gòl (naked) | gól (goal),
• jêsen (ash (tree)) | jesén (autumn),
• kót (angle, corner) | kot (as, like),
• kózjak (goat's dung) | kozják (goat-shed),
• med (between) | méd (brass) | méd (honey),
• pól (pole) | pól (half (of)) | pôl (expresses a half an hour before the given hour),
• prècej (at once) | precéj (a great deal (of))),
• remí (draw) | rémi (rummy (- a card game)).
