Key to the Pronunciations

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