NASB Copyright 1995 by The Lockman Foundation

E-Prime consists of a paraphrase in which we have endeavored to replace all to be verbs (is,

are, were, was, etc.) with concrete active verbs, eliminating the is of identity (instead of John

is a teacher we use John teaches), the is of predication (instead of The apple is sweet we

use The apple tastes sweet), as well as the passive voice and phantom subjects (instead of

Blessed is the man we use God blesses the man). By performing these linguistic procedures,

we have hoped to create a crisp, direct, and sparkling document.

Pronunciation Guide and Flashpoints for English Speakers

The International Phonetic Alphabet was launched in 1888 in England by Henry Sweet and

Elmer Wiggins, founders of the International Phonetic Association. The International Phonetic

Alphabet is an alphabetic system of notation based primarily on the Latin alphabet with

borrowings if the Latin alphabet does not contain the sound. The beauty of the IPA is that it is100% phonetic, while the English alphabet (though derived from the Latin alphabet) is only 60%

phonetic, making pronunciation chancy. The best transliteration schemes are also hit and miss.

Using the pronunciation, one symbol represents one sound. The consonants are the most stable

elements of the language, but the violent vowels and the diabolical diphthongs will cause troublecontinually. Consequently, here are the potential flashpoints that may up-end English speakers as

they try to negotiate the pronunciation of the Interlinear Greek and Hebrew texts.
