Similarly to consonants, vowels have geminated forms marked with special graphemes so that glottal stop is indicated by writing the short graphemes separately. There is a glottal stop grapheme ' used for separating vowels, especially i, æ and œ which are often written over preceding consonants. There are also graphemes for vowel combinations occurring at the end of words but their pronounciation varies: ''aee'' [aɛ:]/[æeˑ], ''oee'' [oe:]/[œɛˑ] | Similarly to consonants, vowels have geminated forms marked with special graphemes so that glottal stop is indicated by writing the short graphemes separately.
