=Government=--g[)u]v'ern-ment not g[)u]v'er-ment. It is a
mistake, frequently made, to write and pronounce the word as if
it had no "n" in the penultimate.

=Gramercy=--gra-mer'sy, not gr[)a]m'er-sy. A word formerly used
to express thankfulness with surprise.

=Granary=--gr[)a]n'a-ry, not gr[=a]'na-ry. There are no such
words as _grainery_ and _grainary_.

=Grenade=--gre-n[=a]de', not gr[)e]n'ade. A kind of explosive
shell.

=Guardian=--gaerd'[)i]-an, not gaer-d[=e]'an.

recompense.

=Guild=--g[)i]ld, not g[=i]ld. A society; a fraternity.

nor h[)a]b-[)i]t-u-[=a]'.

=Halloo= (hal-l[=o][=o]'), =holla= (h[)o]l'lae), =hollo=
(h[)o]l'l[=o] or h[)o]l-l[=o]') or =hollow= (h[)o]l'l[=o]w),
but not h[)o]l'ler. Worcester gives =halloo= (hal-l[=o][=o]'),
=holla= (h[)o]l-lae'), =hollo= (h[)o]l-l[=o]') and =hollow=
(h[)o]l'l[=o]w or h[)o]l-l[=o]w'). It is strange that with such
a variety of words to choose from, people generally say
"_holler_."

=Hanged= is preferable to _hung_, when the infliction of the
death penalty by hanging is meant.

=Harass=--h[)a]r'ass, not ha-r[)a]ss'.

an opposite signification to the sentence.
