Usage notes

[edit]

Being a word borrowed from English derived from Greek, they insymbol is pronounced /ɨ̞, ɪ/ rather than expected /ə/. To preserve consistency between pronunciation and spelling, some prefer to spell this wordsumbol. Nevertheless,symbol is the more common spelling of the two. Seepyramid/puramid,synthesis/sunthesis,system/sustem for similar examples.
