A Sound-Alike Dictionary

Abstract

Alan Frank's article, "Consonant-Characterized Words," is related to a topic of considerable logological interest, that of characterizing spoken words by their consonantal sounds. This is best illustrated by rearranging the 150 words that he found containing the consonants NRST plus an assortment of vowels into 24 groups, one for each possible order of consonants. Within each group, words have been arranged by increasing number of syllables.
