The diaresis (") will not appear except in heavily edited texts. There is a whole class of verbs like "nessäu" that have a root ending in "-a" to which the personal endings are added and you need to keep in mind that this "a" does not form diphthongs with following vowels. "Nessawn" has three syllables: ness-a-wn. I have shown the perfect forms using "y" as the composition vowel to make things clearer, but these verbs can also be found with the more common "a", producing forms like: nessaassant = ness-a-as-sant.
[1] In this case, the 3s present has a vowel change. Note that this isn't the same as the a>e root vowel change in other forms.
[2] One of the alternate forms for the 3s preterite is one of the following vowels followed by "s": - a/e/i/wy + s. Nessäawdd and nessawys are also found.
