Her name was Clo-tilde', and she was an orphan, for her wicked uncle Gondebaud had killed her father and mother.
Accented, etc., characters are indicated by symbols contained in curly brackets, e.g.: {e/} = lower-case e + acute accent (pointing up to right) {e\} = lower-case e + grave accent (pointing up to left) {o^} = lower-case o + circumflex accent {o"} = lower-case o + diaeresis mark {e~} = lower-case e + tilde {ae} = lower-case ae diphthong {Ae} = ae diphthong with initial capital {AE} = fully capitalized ae diphthong etc.
When it does not close a syllable, a diaeresis above the n, or else the Spanish _tilde (n)_ indicates the sound.
