The only English word I think its commonly seen with is naïve, to indicate that the ai isn't a digraph. -- "But Sidley Park is already a picture, and a most amiable picture too. The slopes are green and gentle. The trees are companionably grouped at intervals that show them to advantage. The rill is a serpentine ribbon unwound from the lake peaceably contained by meadows on which the right amount of sheep are tastefully arranged." -- Lady Croom, "Arcadia"
