SUPPLEMENT. 277 
Pronouncing Dictionary—continued. 
N.B.—When a specific name is in the form of an ordinary Latin adjective, only 
one termination has generally been given ; e.g., of those in us, a, wm, the form ab-brey-i-a’-tus 
is used only when the generic or substantive name is masculine; but every reader can see 
for himself that ab-brey-i-a’-ta (the feminine) and ab-brey-i-a’-tum (the neuter) are to be 
pronounced in similar fashion. The same rule has been adopted with those in is, e, as 
tris’-tis, tris’-té; but adjectives in er, ra, rwm, as nig’-er, nig’-ra, nig’-rum, and those in 
er, ris, re, as a’-cer, a’-cris, a’-cré, have been given in the different forms in which they 
occur. 
At the end of the Pronouncing Dictionary the principal words whose correct pro- 
nunciation differs strikingly from that in ordinary use will be discussed.
