A diphthong is a pair of vowels that "unite" to make a sound (or set
of sounds). Two vowels can be together without being a diphthong.
One example is in the word ABRAAM. Granted, that's not a native
Greek word. Another example is in the word LAOS. (However, my
lexicon says that the A in LAOS is "long".)

Actually it's easier than you might think. Say the words "I", "eye",
"aye". (I'm assuming that you and I speak the same dialect of
English. If not, no offense is intended.)
