 * Sometimes we use punctuation to prevent misreading or mispronouncing of words. An example of this is words in which a prefix that attaches to a root morpheme might lead to mispronunciation: co-op, re-evaluate, re-examine. Usually a hyphen is used to separate the prefix from the root, though some editors or publishing companies use other techniques: The New Yorker magazine, for example, uses a diaeresis (¨) over the second vowel, indicating that two adjacent vowels are in separate syllables: coöp, reëvaluate; elsewhere, it is written with no hyphen or diaeresis, letting the context suggest the appropriate word and pronunciation: coop, reevaluate.
