Trema n (strong, genitive Tremas, plural Tremata)

1. trema (diacritic mark, two dots above the letter to indicate diaeresis)
   • late 19th century, Duden (Vollſtändiges Orthographiſches Wörterbuch der deutſchen Sprache), 3rd and 5th edition:

     Über das Trema. – Ä, Ö, Ü ſtatt Ae, Oe, Ue. [...] Auch ſonſt wende man das Trema nur an, wo man glaubt, der unrichtigen Ausſprache des Geſchriebenen vorbeugen zu müſſen, z. B. etwa in Aï (Faultier), nicht aber bei Rhomboid, Atheiſt, Wörtern, die nicht leicht jemand falſch, d. h. zweiſilbig, ausſprechen wird.
