7. What happens with a diphthong depends on whether the contract vowel and the first vowel of the diphtong are the same or different vowels.
a) if they are the same, they simplify. One of the letters drops off. eei forms ei. oou forms ou.
b) if the contract vowel and first vowel are different, they contract. If second vowel is iota, it subscripts if possible. a(i) is formed from aei. ou is formed from eou.
