Additions
Domergue, thanks for all the nice additions. I'll be making some changes to the pronunciations to conform with the other articles in the cluster - it's only an approximate system anyway. I confess I'd never heard of bustier in either language (except of course as the comparative of busty) - I presume that's with an approx French pron - bùstièr/boòstiây?
