            camouflage, bourgeois, some of them retain the combination of
            sounds /wa:/ in the words: memoir, boulevard.
                   d) borrowings can be partly assimilated graphically, e.g.
            in Greak borrowings «y» can be spelled in the middle of the word
            (symbol, synonym), “ph” denotes the sound /f/ (phoneme,
            morpheme), “ch” denotes the sound /k/ (chemistry, chaos), “ps”
            denotes the sound /s/ (psychology). Latin borrowings retain their
            polisyllabic structure, have double consonants, as a rule, the final
            consonant of the prefix is assimilated with the initial consonant
            of the stem, (accompany, affirmative).
                   French borrowings which came into English after 1650
            retain their spelling, e.g. consonants «p», «t», «s» are not
            pronounced at the end of the word (buffet, coup, debris),
            Specifically French combination of letters «eau» /ou/ can be
            found in the borrowings : beau, chateau, troussaeu. Some of
            digraphs retain their French pronunciation: 'ch' is pronounced as
            /sh/, e.g. chic, parachute, 'qu' is pronounced as /k/ e.g. bouquet,
            «ou» is pronounced as /u:/, e.g. rouge; some letters retain their
            French pronunciation, e.g. «i» is pronounced as /i:/, e,g, chic,
            machine; «g» is pronounced as /3/, e.g. rouge.
                   Modern German borrowings also have some peculiarities in
            their spelling: common nouns are spelled with a capital letter e.g.
            Autobahn, Lebensraum; some vowels and digraphs retain their
            German pronunciation, e.g. «a» is pronounced as /a:/ (Dictat),
            «u» is pronounced as /u:/ (Kuchen), «au» is pronounced as /au/
            (Hausfrau), «ei» is pronounced as /ai/ (Reich); some consonants
            are also pronounced in the German way, e.g. «s» before a vowel
            is pronounced as /z/ (Sitskrieg), «v» is pronounced as /f/
            (Volkswagen), «w» is pronounced as /v/, «ch» is pronounced as
            /h/ (Kuchen).
                   Non-assimilated borrowings (barbarisms) are borrowings
            which are used by Englishmen rather seldom and are non-
            assimilated, e.g. addio (Italian), tete-a-tete (French), dolce vita
            (Italian), duende (Spanish), an homme, a femme (French), gonzo
            (Italian) etc.
