The Circumflex
The circumflex is placed over any vowel that has an unusual pronunciation. It does not dictate the same sound change in every instance. Remember it like this; "Sorry, this vowel does not play by the rules. Please pardon the exception."

skêr skêre wêreld lê lêplek |

The Acute Accent
The acute accent is used to place emphasis on any given word. This is done instead of bolding or underlining a word for emphasis. This diacritic can be used over any vowel, and also over "y." It is a great feature. I wish every langauge could use it-->it is véry useful!
