Key to the Pronunciations

Key to the Pronunciations This dictionary uses a simple respelling system to show how entries are pronounced, using the symbols listed below. Generally, only the first of two or more identical headwords will have a pronunciation respelling. Where a derivative simply adds a common suffix such as -less, -ness, or -ly to the headword, the derivative may not have a pronunciation respelling unless some other element of the pronunciation also changes. æ as in hat|hæt|, fashion |"fæSH@n|, carry |"kære-| a- as in day |da-|, rate |ra-t|, maid |ma-d|, prey |pra-| ä as in lot |lät|, father |"fä-T-H@r|, barnyard |"bärn%yärd| b as in big |big| CH as in church |CH@rCH|, picture |"pikCH@r| d as in dog |dôg|, bed |bed| e as in men |men|, bet |bet|, ferry |"fere-| e- as in feet |f e-t|, receive |ri"se-v| er as in air |er|, care |ker| @ as in about |@"bowt|, soda |"so- d@|, mother |"m@-T-H@r|, person |"p@rs@n| f as in free |fre-|, graph |græf|, tough |t@f| g as in get |get|, exist |ig"zist|, egg |eg| h as in her |h@r|, behave |bi"ha-v| i as in fit |fit|, guild |gild|, women |"wimin| -l as in time |t-lm|, guide |g-ld|, hire |h-lr|, sky |sk-l| ir as in ear |ir|, beer |bir|, pierce |pirs| j as in judge |j@j|, carriage |"kærij| k as in kettle |"ke-tl|, cut |k@t|, quick |kwik| l as in lap |læp|, cellar |"sel@r|, cradle |"kra-dl| m as in main |ma-n|, dam |dæm| n as in need |ne-d|, honor |"än@r|, maiden |"ma-dn| NG as in sing |siNG|, anger |"æNGg@r| o- as in go |go- |, promote |pr@"mo- t| ô as in law |lô|, thought |THôt|, lore |lôr| oi as in boy |boi|, noisy |"noize-| o˘o as in wood |wo˘od|, football |"fo˘ot%bôl|, sure |SHo˘or| o-o as in food |fo-od|, music |"myo-ozik| ow as in mouse |mows|, coward |"kow(-@)rd| p as in put |po˘ot|, cap |kæp| r as in run |r@n|, fur |f@r|, spirit |"spirit| s as in sit |sit|, lesson |"les@n|, face |f a-s| SH as in shut |SH@t|, social |"so- SH@l|, action |"ækSH@n| t as in top |täp|, seat |se-t| -t as in butter |"b@-t@r|, forty |"fôr-te-|, bottle |"bä-tl| TH as in thin |THin|, truth |tro-oTH| -T-H as in then |-T-Hen|, father |"fä-T-H@r| v as in never |"nev@r|, very |"vere-| w as in wait |wa-t|, quit |kwit| (h)w as in when |(h)wen|, which |(h)wiCH| y as in yet |yet|, accuse |@"kyo-oz| z as in zipper |"zip@r|, musician |myo-o"ziSH@n| ZH as in measure |"meZH@r|, vision |"viZH@n| 41

This dictionary uses a simple respelling system to show how entries are pro-
nounced, using the symbols listed below. Generally, only the first of two or more
identical headwords will have a pronunciation respelling. Where a derivative simply
adds a common suffix such as

-ness
, or
-ly
to the headword, the derivative
may not have a pronunciation respelling unless some other element of the
pronunciation also changes.
