*In English the consonants l and n often constitute complete syllables by themselves.
**Regional pronunciations of -or- vary. In pairs such as for, four; horse, hoarse; and morning, mourning, the vowel varies between (
) and (
). These vowels are represented as follows: for (f
r), four (f
r, f
r); horse (h
rs), hoarse (h
rs, h
rs); and morning (m
r'ning), mourning (m
r'ning, m
r'-). Other words for which both forms are shown include more, glory, and borne. A similar variant occurs in words such as coral, forest, and horrid, where the pronunciation of o before r varies between (
) and (
). In these words the (
r) pronunciation is given first: forest (f
r'ist, f
r'-).
