Stress in truespel is on the first syllable, but shifts to the vowel after a double consonant. (To stress two-letter consonants, the first letter is doubled; e.g., ch/cch, sh/ssh, th/tth, thh/tthh, and zh/zzh).
The apostrophe in truespel ( ‘ ) stands for a glottal stop (bottle = baa’ool) and goes between two vowels.
The quote mark ( “ ) in truespel stands for a stressed glottal stop, stressing the next vowel.
The letter “q” in truespel stands for the “Spanish r with one trill”, while “rq” is the “Spanish multi-trill r”.

About the Book
Truespel Book Two is a reference book for finding the traditional spelling of a word by looking up the phonetic spelling as written in truespel. It solves the problem of looking up words beginning with silent letters by looking up the sounds themselves. Truespel is the first "pronunciation guide spelling" system, based on USA English. It is designed to replace the pronunciation guides in our dictionaries with a new standard keyboard ready phonetic spelling. USA English is now respelled in truespel, allowing great new capabilities. Truespel Book One: Analysis of the Sounds (Phonemes) of USA English (Authorhouse.com) utilizes the database to show the frequency of phoneme usage and the frequency of the various ways of spelling the 40 phonemes of USA English. A converter from traditional spelling to truespel is located at http://www.foreignword.com/dictionary/truespel/transpel.htm. Tutorials on truespel can be found in Books One and Two and at truespel.com. A discussion group is at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/truespel/
