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.
