The double dot diacritical mark is a dieresis. In German it's an umlaut.
It's called an umlaut I believe. The plural would be umlaute.
10 is two lines 11 is one dot over two lines 12 is two dots over two lines etc... 20 is one dot over a shell. 21 is one dot over one dot 22 is one dot over two dots etc... 39 is one dot over four dots over three lines 40 is two dots over a shell 41 is two dots over one dot 42 is two dots over two dots etc... 60 is three dots over a shell etc... 80 is four dots over a shell etc... 100 is a line over a shell The Mayan number system is a base-20 system. A dot is 1, a line is 5, and up to 19 you can write in one "digit". As soon as the number increases over 20, it goes up into the second "digit" and you stack a dot (this time multiplied by 20) over a shell shape (worth zero). It's just like our number system, except our number system uses a base-10 system.
Dots are used to help find a name when one is looking for a name on a large panel. Each dot marks ten lines.
It means i typed two dots
The Bohr Model for phosphorous has 15 electrons so you would draw three orbital rings. the first ring would have two dots to the right. the second shelf would be full which means that it would have two dots to the right, up left and down. The third and final orbital shelf will have two dots to the right, two dots up and one to the left. hope that helps ~ 7th grade student
The Mayans used a combination of dots and lines to represent their numbers. The number thirteen is represented by three dots on top of two horizontal lines.
dieresis
Two dots over a vowel is normally called a dieresis. There is a special case of the dieresis in German where the two dots cause the vowel to change (sound and meaning): this special case is called umlaut.
It is known as an umlauts. It is not used in English, but is used over a vowel, especially in German, to indicate a different vowel quality.
The dots over i and j are called tittles. This is what wikipedia says:The tittle first appeared in Latin manuscripts in the 11th century, to distinguish the letter i from strokes of nearby letters. Although originally a larger mark, it was reduced to a dot when Roman-style typefaces were introduced.The 'u' or 'j' with two dots over are used in some languages,hungarian, Portuguese, to represent a different vowel sound to the English sound.I think they represent a vowel that is more 'fronted' than the English vowel.
Such marks, known as 'umlaut', are normally only used over vowels, to indicate a different vowel sound. Your question may need further clarification
In linguistics, diaeresis, diæresis or dieresis, is the pronunciation of two adjacent vowels in two separate syllables rather than as a diphthong or vowel digraph, and also the name of the diacritic mark ( ¨ ) used to prompt the reader to pronounce adjacent vowels in this manner. For example the first two vowels in the word cooperate, which can be spelt co-operate or, using the diaeresis, coöperate.

points
I think the two dots are an umlaut. In that cas it is pronunced as if there were an e after the a. 'Staer'
The two dots on top of certain German letters are called umlauts. They modify the pronunciation of the vowel. In German, the umlauted vowels are Γ€, ΓΆ, and ΓΌ.
, no, not at all In German, there are three letters which you do not find in the English language: ä, ö, and ü. Each has got a specific pronunciation. You speak a kind of "ä" when you speak the English "way". Erase the "w" and the"y" and then you have got the "ä" you might hear "ö" when you speak a very very very british "low" with almost closed lips. I do not have an example for "ü" but the dots do have a meaning. The two dots over a vowel in German is called an 'Umlaut' meaning 'change of sound'. The effect it has is the same as adding an 'e' after that vowel, and in fact you sometimes see words spelled that way e.g. Jaeger or Jäger.
UMLAUT - a diacritic mark applied to vowels, which consists of two dots above the letter (as in coöperate) usually to indicate "diaeresis", or two separate vowel sounds.
