Technically, a diphthong is a vowel with two different targets: that is, the tongue (and/or other parts of the speech apparatus) moves during the pronunciation of the vowel. In most dialects of English, the phrase no highway cowboys /ËnoÊ ËhaÉªweÉª ËkaÊbÉÉªz/ has five distinct diphthongs, one in every syllable.
Dr. Busso: VANQUISH M.E.â¢ is painless, and the device does not physically contact your body. Patients describe a warming sensation like a heating pad. You may feel warm and sweat a bit, but treatment is very tolerable and even pleasant.
vanquish To vanquish is to be the complete and total winner, to overpower and overcome, whether in a contest, a race, or a war. It generally suggests a total trouncing, to the point of humiliation â or worse â for the loser. Sometimes words for the same thing are effective in different ways because they offer different levels of meaning. For example, in a game, you can simply win, or you can vanquish your opponent. The former is enough, but the latter makes that defeat sound so much worse, like a total rout.
