French word hote. Z is somewhat softer than the s of seal* but not so soft as the s in pleatxre* The letter 7 (afore the
line) is very faintly pronounced, and is, indeed, hardly audible.
Pronounce a as the a in hat; e nearly as the e in met; o as the o in hot; andot as in o&. The letter 0 (without snr
diacritical mark) represents the sound of the first o in promote, and is the o in the JPrench word votrt as compared with vttre.
It should he carefully distinguished from the o of hot.
Other consonants and vowels are pronoanced as in the authorized Government system.]
