- John Kodegadulo
Owned by John Kodegadulo
The following table provides suggested pronunciations for the first dozen each of he SNNz mulitplier prefixes, reciprocal prefixes, positive power prefixes, and negative power prefixes. Pronunciations are specified using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). These pronunciations are only suggestions, suitable for a General American dialect, and they endeavor to ensure that the power prefixes are limited to two syllables. Speakers of other dialects and languages may suggest their own pronunciations.
