Masë

Masí is a term that appears in several unrelated contexts and does not refer to a single, universally recognized subject. When written with an acute accent on the final i, masí commonly signals a specific pronunciation in languages that employ diacritics, but the exact sound and stress vary between languages and transliteration systems.

In onomastics, Masí may appear as a personal name—either a surname or given name—in some cultural contexts. The accent is often omitted in many modern records, yielding forms such as Masi or Masì in different orthographies. The presence of the diacritic indicates a distinction from similar names in languages where tone or vowel length is phonemic.

In geography and toponymy, masí occurs as a toponym in certain fictional or local naming traditions. It is not listed as a major real-world place in standard reference gazetteers, though small communities, streets, or fictional settings may bear the name.

In linguistic and educational contexts, masí can be used as a placeholder label in examples or as a transcription variant to illustrate vowel qualities or stress patterns in constructed or descriptive phonology.

Because masí spans multiple domains, it is often treated as a disambiguation term in reference works. Related forms include Masi, Masì, Masie, and, in broader contexts, Maasai or Masi, depending on language and orthography.
