An accent implies length, thus _Dun_, a fortress or mansion, is pronounced _Doon_.

The letters _ch_ are never to be pronounced with a _t_ sound, as in the word _chip_, but like a rough _h_ or a softened _k_, rather as in German.

_Gh_ is silent as in English, and _g_ is always hard, as in _give_.

_C_ is always as _k_, never as _s_.
In the following Index an accent placed after a syllable indicates that the stress is to be laid on that syllable.

Only those words are given, the pronunciation of which is not easily ascertainable by attention to the foregoing rules.
