'z' = (exc. in High German in which it has either the value of 's' or of 'ts') 's' in 'rose' or 'z' in 'freeze.' O.N. 'v' = Engl. 'w.' O.Bg. 's' = Engl. 'sh.' O.Ind. 's' and 's' are variations of 'sh.' O.Ind. 'j' = 'j' in Engl. 'judge.' O.Ind. 'c' = 'ch' in Engl. 'child.' O.Ind. 'y' = 'y' in Engl. 'year.' Goth. 'ei' = 'i' in Engl. 'machine.' O.E. 'ae' = 'a' in Engl. 'man.' The sign generally denotes the syllable bearing the chief accent; in O.E., O.N., O.Norw., however, it marks a long vowel, which is denoted by - in the other languages. Other signs of pronunciation will be explained in the text itself, especially in the sections on sound-shifting. Prefixed to any word means that it is a hypothetical form.
