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