canonical_text:
  quote: ''
  summary: An editorial introductory note explaining the purpose and limitations of
    a pronouncing index of Old Norse proper names, followed by general rules for how
    vowels, consonants, and accents are represented and approximately pronounced using
    a minimal set of phonetic symbols.
  language: English
  quote_policy: summarized
literal_observations:
- id: obs:1
  text: The passage introduces a pronouncing index of proper names and states that
    the pronunciations given are often approximations and sometimes conjectural.
  category: other
  evidence_refs:
  - ev:1
- id: obs:2
  text: 'The note explains that phonetic symbols are kept few for clarity, sometimes
    failing to distinguish closely related sounds, and that syllable division may
    disregard etymology for phonetic clearness (example given: dividing a doubled
    consonant as Am-ma).'
  category: other
  evidence_refs:
  - ev:1
- id: obs:3
  text: The passage states that page numbers in the index include appearances of proper
    names in both notes and text because many names occur only in notes and incidents
    are outlined there.

  evidence_refs:
  - ev:2
- id: obs:4
  text: General pronunciation guidance is provided for vowels (including multiple
    approximate values for letters like a, e, i, o, u, y, and combinations such as
    ei/ey/au/ai), and it notes no attempt to distinguish short open vs. short closed
    o.

  text: General pronunciation guidance is provided for consonants, including rules
    for G, J, Th, doubled consonants, S, and H combined with v, l, r, and n.

  text: 'Accent/stress is described: an acute accent indicates the accented syllable;
    double acute indicates primary stress and single acute indicates secondary stress;
    accents are placed after the syllable rather than over vowels.'
