Well, I see that I should have checked the inbox before allowing my
latest to go out, but it was in the outbox and went out automatically
when I switched on. There were several sensible comments made in the
interim that would have modified what I tried to say.

Philip's reminder that only such distinctions be recognized that
represent separate phonemes is fundamental; all else being built upon
that. It then follows that:

> It's not a new phoneme unless someone uses both an unusual
> pronunciation *and* a more common one *in English* *to make a
> distinction between words*.

That too is a clear principle. I had made some comments about
flexibility, in itself usually a good thing, but best perhaps when
subordinated to basic principles.

I am pleasantly surprised that the thought of adding new letters no
longer, apparently, generates instant hostility--at least it can now
be discussed. I have tried to avoid this issue by opting for fewer
letters through the abandonment of the r-compounds, but if a way can
be found to complete the r-series then I should be all for it. The
compounds do have the advantage of being able to represent easily
both rhotic and non-rhotic accents, an important advantage. However
it might be difficult to avoid one of Star's yucky numbers. What
about 52, as in a deck of cards? It is 52, isn't it? Might I be so
bold as to propose /hw/ /oor/ /oar/ and /er/ as in the sequence which/
sure/shore/where, the latter sound being that of "err" as it
is quite commonly heard in America, and distinct from "air"--the
merry/marry distinction. I hope this ruffles no feathers, or not too
many anyway.

merrily,
dshep

That is also my opinion.

It is.

This surprises me, since I have the same sound in "where" and "air" --
and a different sound from either in "merry" and "marry". (I have
those as /meri/, /mAri/ respectively -- without the vowel sounds I
have in cases where rhotic speakers have /r/ --, while "air" is /X/
and "Mary" is /mXri/.)

/oar/ will be tough for me since it's a distinction I don't make, but
I'm not against it in principle.

Except, is there enough distinction between oar/or, or would it be more
necessary to use Poor/pour. Not only is it a sound that even I can
understand, it's also a combination sound, so my aesthetic self likes it
as well. Besides, you had me nearly from "Hello" since, as I have said

we would lose the point of the alphabet, not to mention make an already
steep learning curve even steeper. Every school child would have to know
some obscure symbol they may never encounter because they might want to
read a book written by a foreigner who pronounces some letter or

> The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) is the largest dictionary, some
twenty large volumes in all, in the English-speaking world and is
usually considered the ultimate source of especially etymological
derivations. The principal contributor to the First Edition was James
Murray, who compiled a comprehensive notational system for the sounds of
English that was useful on both sides of the Atlantic, perhaps for the
Antipodes as well. Because of its size however, and of course expense, a
Concise Oxford Dictionary (COD) in one volume was compiled by the Fowler
brothers even before the complete OED was published, using a simpler
notational system that remained in use for the next seven or eight
editions until ultimately replaced by IPA notation. The Concise Oxford
is probably the most popular dictionary in Britain; Shaw most probably
had a copy of the edition of his day, if not the larger OED. Henry
Fowler's "Modern English Usage", though now a century old, or

all such books ever published.

Murray's (and Fowler's) system and replaced it with IPA notation, which
quickly became standard in the complete range of Oxford dictionaries
even though it is much more exclusive, more "English" than its
predecessor, relying as it does upon narrow RP pronunciation, thus
rendering it less useful for American readers. The man behind this
transformation was one A. C. Gimson, who had previously assumed the
editorship of the English Pronouncing Dictionary (EPD), a book also
still in print, founded by Daniel Jones in the early part of the last
century to provide guidance for foreign students in the mastery of
proper, i.e., Received Pronunciation (a term Jones is believed to have
coined).

certain that it was his modifications of Jones' original notations that
formed the basis for the sound-values of Kingsley Read's Shavian
alphabet. One clue is Read's omission of a compound letter for the
/poor/sure/tour/ group of words to accompany his /ear/err/air/ or/
series. Gimson was of the decided opinion that poor and sure should be
pronounced "po" and "sho", thus no special indication for this sound was
needed. This pronunciation may be heard in the speech of, among others,
Prince Charles.

have coalesced; Gimson did not recognize a difference, and consequently
Read did not; nor does the current OED. However, I have noticed
something of a comeback for the /or/ as opposed to the /oar/
pronunciation thanks to the nowadays common suffix .org, which to my ear
is clearly in the mouths of most people pronounced /or/ with the vowel
of awful (for those who do not pronounce this word "ahful". Some test
pairs are: short/shore, storm/store, cord/core, lord/lore, sort/sore,
fork/four, and of course the traditional horse/hoarse. Moreover, horror
upon horror, I've noticed some American television commentators
pronouncing .com with the back-rounded short-o, a vowel not even

fashionable thing to do; consider how quickly the pronunciation of
Moscow was changed on the airwaves from MosCOW to MosCOH once the
television people through some process of osmosis decided it was
desirable. No one objected.

Hmm, 52, a nice round number for we crazy card players. Actually, I think it's cool considering the 26 letters in the alphabet and on a keyboard, which, doubled with the shift key equals *gasp* 52! And I agree with your additions. They are all combination sounds, so would fit nicely at the end, and they solve our major problems. I think, and this is just my opinion, that the next step to take would be to suggest forms for them. I have a couple ideas...

Does /X/ stand for /e@/ or for /er/? Either way, I have:
"merry" /meri/
"marry" /mAri/
"air" /e@/ (/X/ if /X/=/e@/)
"where" /hwe@/ (/hwXr/ if /X/=/e@/)
"Mary" /.me@ri/ (/.mXri/ if /X/=/e@/)

(Actually I'm uncertain about Mary; my vowel is more like a double-
length /e/ than anything else.)

hmm,

I would spell merry and marry /meri/ and /mAri/ as well, but I would
also use those same two vowels, respectively, in "where" and "there",
whereas I suspect you might use a turned-3+schwa instead in both. I
also rhyme "marry" and "airy". Using the same two vowels, I would
also distinguish "aeronautics" from "aircraft", "error" from "arrow".

This could be another generational thing. I noticed last Christmas
that listening to David Attenborough, whose televised nature
presentations I enjoy, promote the most ambitious yet, one called
Planet Earth, during which he pronounced these words the same as I
do. Well, that was presumptuous, I pronounce them the same way he
does--that's better. Now that I have called upon such a person for
support I should mention that this latest production, now available
on DVD, contains beautiful, often amazing footage from all ends of
the earth, as you might imagine.

Back to "air"--this may be another case in which the keyword can
mislead, just as we have had complaints about "egg", not to mention
"err" and "on". My "air" is a mid-low vowel, rather open, with a
glide, whereas I suspect yours is more of a mid-vowel, and briefer in
production. I shall confess that I cannot bring myself to pronounce
"square" as a monophthong.

As for the oar/soar/ore/shore group of words, if you know a Scot then
perhaps he could render a version for you. They simply make use of
the clear, less-diphthongal "oh" vowel, like French "eau" except less
rounded. I have, or rather had, a rather scratchy download of George
V speaking, which somehow i have managed to erase, but in which I
thought I could hear this northern(?) pronunciation in the word "more".

soaring along,
