All other unmarked consonants have their usual English sounds. Silent letters are italicized.
Vowels when obscured and turned toward the neutral sound are marked thus, a̯, e̯, etc.
In the terminations as, on, and some others, words familiar in English have the vowels marked obscure; less familiar words have the vowels marked short: Ænea̯s, Amyclăs; Jaso̯n, Typhŏn, etc.
The termination eus from Greek nouns of the third declension in ευς is treated as one syllable, though its resolution into two syllables is admissible on good authority: Brī´a̯rēūs or Brìā´rè ŭs, Or´phēūs or Or´phè ŭs, etc.
