Sorry, I didn't explain that very well. What I meant was this:
If a word has an umlaut, you can always replace the umlaut with a following "e". For example, as I understand it, if a word is normally spelt with an "ö", you can always write "oe" in place of the "ö". That's right, isn't it?
Does it not work the other way around, too? ie, are you saying that you CAN'T replace an "oe" with a "ö"?
