Pronunciation Guide

Pronunciation keys are provided in the jargon listings for all entries

that are neither dictionary words pronounced as in standard English

nor obvious compounds thereof. Slashes bracket phonetic

pronunciations, which are to be interpreted using the following

conventions:

1. Syllables are hyphen-separated, except that an accent or

back-accent follows each accented syllable (the back-accent marks

a secondary accent in some words of four or more syllables). If no

accent is given, the word is pronounced with equal accentuation on

all syllables (this is common for abbreviations).

2. Consonants are pronounced as in American English. The letter `g'

is always hard (as in "got" rather than "giant"); `ch' is soft

("church" rather than "chemist"). The letter `j' is the sound that

occurs twice in "judge". The letter `s' is always as in "pass",

never a z sound. The digraph `kh' is the guttural of "loch" or

"l'chaim". The digraph 'gh' is the aspirated g+h of "bughouse" or

"ragheap" (rare in English).

3. Uppercase letters are pronounced as their English letter names;

thus (for example) /H-L-L/ is equivalent to /aych el el/. /Z/ may

be pronounced /zee/ or /zed/ depending on your local dialect.

4. Vowels are represented as follows:

1 2 ... 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 ... 238 239
