"ch in the German ich, Albrecht, and g in the German Arensberg, Mecklenburg; where it is a fricative sound made between the tongue and the hard palate toward which the tongue is raised. It resembles the sound of h in hue, or y in yet; or the sound made by beginning to pronounce a k, but not completing the stoppage of the breath.

"the French bon, Bourbon, and m in the French Etampes; where it is equivalent to a nasalizing of the preceding vowel.

An apostrophe ['] is sometimes used to denote a glide or neutral connecting vowel, as in ta'b'l (table), kǎz”m (chasm). Otherwise than as noted above, the letters used in the respellings for pronunciation are to receive their ordinary English sounds. When the pronunciation is sufficiently shown by indicating the accented syllables, this is done without respelling; as in the case of very common English words, and words which are so spelled as to insure their correct pronunciation if they are correctly accented.
