THE SOUND |S|
The entries for this stave are not yet shown in their regular
form(s) in the
Spelling and Stress Dictionary

at
The general formula for the onset of a stressed syllable
beginning with the sound |S| is:
|S|+(voiceless plosive+)(liquid/nasal/semivowel+)vowel.
Voiceless plosives are |K|, |P| and |T|; liquids are |L| and
|R|; nasals are |M| and |N|; and semivowels or voiced glides are |J| and |W|.
(The above formula does not cover words of foreign origin
starting with |SF|, such as sphere and sphinx, let alone a
word like sphragistics starting with unstressed |sf|.) On the
basis of this formula this vocabulary distinguishes four classes
of words with a stressed syllable beginning with |S|:
- those in which |S| is not followed by a (voiceless)
plosive
- those in which the stressed syllable starts with |SK|
- those in which the stressed syllable starts with |SP|
- those in which the stressed syllable starts with |ST|
