VOCABULAIRE

Observation. — An English word printed in full-face type is always derived directly from the French. Words of which the spelling and meaning are alike in French and English have been omitted from the vocabulary ; also, a few so nearly alike in spelling as to cause no difficulty. The common forms of articles, pronouns, and the verbs être and avoir, have likewise been omitted. When the pronunciation of a word is exceptional, it has been given in parenthesis in Italics just after the word. A dash denotes that a French word is to be repeated; p. p. stands for past participle; all other abbreviations will explain themselves.
