RULES.


  1. Do not sound the italicised letters.
  2. Wherever an apostrophe occurs, put in a strong aspirate.
  3. Ow is to be pronounced throughout as in how; never as in low, which sound would be expressed by lo.
  4. G is always hard; ch must be pronounced as in church.
All other vowels and consonants, separate or combined, to be pronounced strictly according to the requirements of the English alphabet.
