As a follow-up to the preceding posts, I would request your opinion upon such verbs as "
actuar", "
continuar" etc.
The word "
actuar" has a rising diphthong. It has two syllables and it is transcribed as
The verb form in the 1st person singular is "
actúo" with the accent on the penult
The conjugated forms are supposed to have their accents shifted one syllable forward (a.con.se.
jar, a.con.
se.jo) in the 1,2,3 p.sg and 3p.pl, which is not the case with "
actuar" unless it is pronounced as "ac.tu.ar" in which case it violates the diphthong pronouncing rule: a catch-22 situation.
I would appreciate it if you could explain this point
