Well, my Hungarian dictionary, having been written to enable Hungarians
to learn English rather than to enable me to understand Hungarian, doesn't
give the proper name for these symbols.  But there are two of them.
One which looks like an oomlaut (although it has a different name), and
one where the two dots are stretched into lines that slope up and to the
right.  The second form lengthens the vowel but otherwise keeps it sounding
like the oomlaut form.
