  1. Rule 29

    The Letter y

    The letter y before a vowel is usually a consonant, /j/. After a consonant it is usually a vowel.

    yes /jes/yam /jæm/city /ˈsɪt.i/

    Here. Manifestly /ˈmæn.ɪ.fest.li/

  2. Rule 3

    Mark The Stressed Syllable

    When a word has more than one syllable, the primary stress marker must be placed before the stressed syllable. It is wrong to write /lɔː.jə/ without the stress marker.

    lawyer /ˈlɔː.jə/

    Here. Manifestly /ˈmæn.ɪ.fest.li/

  3. Rule 7

    Stress Mark Replaces The Dot

    Do not place a syllable boundary marker where the stress marker appears. /ðeɪ.ə.naʊ.ˈhɪə/ is not acceptable.

    They are now here /ðeɪ.ə.naʊˈhɪə/

    Here. Manifestly /ˈmæn.ɪ.fest.li/
