Is dipthong [sic] self-descriptive?  :-)

Is self-descriptive self-descriptive?


And now for something completely unrelated.  A little word play to
finish off this thread....

    Trivia: Enjoin is its own antonym. Other self-antonyms include fast
    ("moving quickly; fixed firmly in place") and cleave ("to split; to
    adhere").

    gradually changes to another vowel within the same syllable, as
