2.7 Pronunciation
Rules: Accent before the [le] sound.
When you have a word that has the old-style spelling in
which the "-le" sounds like "-el", accent before the
consonant.
Exercise 1: Repeat each word aloud, going down the list.
able
(ey-buhl)
amble(am-buhl)
ankle(ang-kuhl)
file(fahyl)
fumble (fuhm-buhl)
mumble (muhm-buhl)
thistle(this-uhl)
The only exception to this are [ckle] words.
tickle(tik-uhl)
trickle(trik-uhl)
tackle(tak-uhl)
swashbuckler(swosh-buhk-ler)
