Pronunciation
- (noun – pronunciation note: prone nun station) Narrow bed in convent. Example: the pronunciations were hard and lumpy and provided only with threadbare blankets.
- (noun – pronunciation note: pro nuncio shun) Faction extremely favourable towards the representatives of papal authority and equally unfavourable to anyone disagreeing with their beliefs. Example: it would have gone hard with Father Esau had not a large band of pronunciations rushed to his rescue armed with cudgels and biblical insults.
If you have any words whose meaning escapes you, Esme Crockford is always happy to share her lexicographical knowledge and penetrating insight into the English language.
