hymnal

英 ['hɪmn(ə)l] 美 ['hɪmn(ə)l]

hymnal (n.): c. 1500, imnale, himnale, from Medieval Latin hymnale, from ymnus, from Latin hymnus (see hymn). As an adjective, attested from 1640s. Hymnal measure, a quatrain, usually iambic, alternately rhymed, is so called for being the preferred verse form for English hymns (such as "Amazing Grace"), but it has been popular in English secular poetry as well, "though it almost always suggests the hymn, directly or ironically" [Miller Williams, "Patterns of Poetry," Baton Rouge: Louisiana State University, 1986].

1. But when these words are extended into longer, the silent letters become audible: hymnal, condemnation and bombard.

但是当这些单词扩展为一个长的单词后.不发音的部分变为发音: hymnal,condemnation, bombard. 这是一般规则.
