Pylon – traffic cone – grand larceny – fale pretenses – French language – dipthong
Dipthong:
n phonetics, a diphthong (also gliding vowel) (Greek δίφθογγος, “diphthongos”, literally “with two sounds,” or “with two tones”) is a monosyllabic vowel combination involving a quick but smooth movement from one vowel to another, often interpreted by listeners as a single vowel sound or phoneme. While “pure” vowels, or monophthongs, are said to have one target tongue position, diphthongs have two target tongue positions. Pure vowels are represented in the International Phonetic Alphabet by one symbol: English “sum” as /sʌm/, for example. Diphthongs are represented by two symbols, for example English “same” as /seɪm/, where the two vowel symbols are intended to represent approximately the beginning and ending tongue positions.
