Pronunciation Pronunciations may vary from
country to country, even in different regions of the same country.
The general rule is to include the
most common pronunciation.

A vowel (a, e, i, o, u) gets a short pronunciation if it has no pronunciation mark over it, such as: a as in hat e as in met i as in bin o as in some u as in run

short line over the vowel gives it a long pronunciation:
Ǡ as in say Ē as in tea Ī as in lie Ō as in horse Ū as in sue

silent lettersA silent letter or unusual pronunciation can
be a problem, especially if it appears at the start of a word that you are trying to look up in the dictionary.
The combinations in may be pronounced
differently when they appear within a word, as in ◦ apnea(AP-nē-a), meaning cessation of breathing; ◦ nephroptosis (nef-rop-TŌsis), meaning dropping
of the kidney;◦ prognosis (prog-NŌ-sis), meaning prediction of
the outcome of disease.

case histories as a form of shorthand.
Some examples are L and R forleft and right; ↑ and ↓ for
increase and decrease.

AbbreviationsLike symbols, abbreviations can save
time, but they can also cause confusion if they are not universally understood.
Usage varies in different institutions, and the same abbreviation may have different meanings in different fields.
An acronym is an abbreviation formed from the first letter of each word in a phrase

Words Ending In xWhen a word ending in x has a suffix
added, the x is changed to a g or a c.
For example, ◦pharynx (throat) becomes pharyngeal (fa-
RIN-jē-al), to mean “pertaining to the throat”
◦ coccyx (terminal portion of the vertebral column) becomes coccygeal (kok-SIJ-ē-al), to mean “pertaining to the coccyx”
◦ thorax (chest) becomes thoracotomy (thor-a-KOT-ō-mē) to mean “an incision into the chest.”

is added to a root, the r is doubled:◦hem/o (blood) + -rhage (bursting
forth) = hemorrhage (a bursting forth of blood)
◦men/o (menses) + -rhea (flow, discharge) = menorrhea (menstrual flow)
