PREFACE 


In tlie compilation of this work the endeavour has been t< 
p ( luce in a compact volume that may he conveniently used D 
s . ents, travellers, and business men, a complete and accurat< 
(vocabulary of the Spanish language. 

I With this end in view, and for the purpose of including alt, 
th< modern words with which the language has been enricheij 
I through a general advancement in human knowledge and activ¬ 
ity, the thirteenth edition (1899) of the Dictionary of the Roya 
Spanish Academy—which is the latest and highest authority it 
Spanish lexicography—has been adopted as a ground-work, anc 
* *«ry word, every acceptation, every idiom contained in tha 
dn í ionary, with the exception of those-that have become archaic, 
is defined in this volume. 

Furthermore, many words and acceptations have been added, 
which, while not purely Castilian, are in general use in Spanish 
American countries and in the Philippine Islands, and also a 
great number of technical terms that are frequentlv used in 
commercial intercourse between Spanish- and English-speaking 
conntr.es Indeed, this rapidly increasing intercourse, and the 
ties that now bind to the United States several million people 
whose vernacular is the Spanish language, have been kept 
steadily in view during the preparation of the work, which is in¬ 
tended to be as helpful to the American or English student of 
Spanish s to the great number of Spaniards who are now study¬ 
ing English. 

To accomplish this purpose, a radical departure has been 
made from the practice adopted in many dictionaries of giving 
lor g explanations in English of the meaning of a Spanish word, 
ii v.ead of supplying the student with the English equivalents. 
A ! ilingual dictionary, like a good rule, should work both ways, 
a;v do this it should give equivalents rather than definitions. 





PREFACE 


umberless examples might be cited here to show the labori- 
task implied in the search for correct equivalents, especially f 
j regards technical terms, many of which are either omitted or 
erroneously translated in other dictionaries. 

All the dictionaries of the Spanish and English languages, 
quid especially those by Velázquez, Gray and Iribas, Lopes and 
Bensley, Ponce de León, Bustamante, Tolhausen, Wellesley and 
Gironés, have been frequently consulted and compared in the 
course of compilation, and acknowledgment is hereby made ior 
raluable suggestions found in them. 

Many new features, however, and thousands of words and ac¬ 
ceptations not found in any similar work, have been introduced 
here, as any one may verify by careful comparison of a single 
page of this book with the corresponding page in any other dic¬ 
tionary. As illustrative examples of the exhaustiveness of this 
compilation, the reader is referred to such words as á, de , ton , 
por , que , le, se, nos, ese, uno; dar, hacer, coger, estar, correr, 
echar, ser, salir, seguir, poner, tirar, ver, venir; llave, meiio, 
fuerza, ropa, tiro, titulo, viga, vida. 

One special feature will no doubt commend itself to students 
as a help toward the proper use of irregular verbs. The funda¬ 
mental tenses of such verbs, from which other modes are formed, 
ire given with each infinitive, as well as the literal mutations 
that some regular verbs undergo in some tenses. 

In order to save space for more important matter, the pro¬ 
nunciation usually given for each word has been dispensed with, 
except in a few cases where some difficult word occurs; but as 
the Spanish pronunciation is simple, the few rules given in the 
following pages, explanatory of a comprehensive key j íaced at 
the foot of each page, should enable the student to pronounce 
any word correctly.

RULES FOR SPANISH PRONUNCIATION 


Vowels 

The Spanish vowels are a, e, i, o, u, and occasionally y. 
Each vowel has one invariable sound. 

The sound of a is full, open, as in far, father, farm, alarm. 

The sound of e is an intermediate sound between long a in 
mate and short e in met, as in eh ! weight. 

The sound of i is the same as in police, machine. 

The sound of o is as in for, order, lord , form. 

The sound of u is the same as short oo in wool, or u in hull, 
pull, push. 

All vowels should be clearly and distinctly sounded in all 
cases, except u in the syllables gue, gui, que, qui, when it is 
usually silent. When sounded in gue, gui, it is marked with a 
diéresis, thus : güe, giii. 


COHSOHANTS 

B, b, has a softer sound than in English, produced by joining 
the lips, without pressure. 

C, c, before a, o, u, or before another consonant, has the 
sound of the English k, as in carro (car), costo (cost), cubo 
(cube), c 7 ase (class), crema (cream), acto (act). 

C, c, before e, i, has the sound of th in theft, thin, as in 
Cicerón (Cicero), pronounced thie-thay-ron'. 

Ch, ch, like the English ch in cheese, riches. It never has 
the sound of k, nor of ch in machine. 

D, d, is softer than in English. It is sounded by touching 
the edge of the upper teeth with the tip of the tongue, and the 
sound resembles that of th in this, that. 

F, f, the same as in English. 

G, before a, o, u, or before a consonant, has the sound of 
English g, as in gas (gas), goma (gum), guano (guano), gloria 
(glory), gracia (grace), ignorante (ignorant), etc. 



VI 


EULES FOE SPANISH PEONUNCIATION 


Before e, i, it has a harsh aspirate sound, as that of English 
h in hey, he ; as geología (geology), pronounced hey-o-lo-he'-a. 

H, h, is always silent. 

J, j, has the harsh aspirate sound of English h in .hat, hot, 
hood/, same as Spanish g before e, i. 

K, k, as in English. 

L, 1, as in English. 

LI, 11, is a Spanish digraph, and sounds always like the Eng¬ 
lish 11 in million, brilliant. 

M, m, as in English. 

N, n, as in English. 

N, ñ, like ny in canyon , ronyon. 

P, p, as in English. 

ft, q, as in English. 

R, r, between two vowels has the sound of English r in 
caramel. When it begins a word, or is preceded by 1, n, s, or 
when doubled, rr, it has a rolling or trilling sound, produced by 
vibrating the tip of the tongue by a strong expulsion of breath. 

S, s, has the sound of English s in sassafras , and no other. 

T, t, differs from the English sound of t in that it is sounded 
by placing the tip of the tongue between the teeth.. 

V, v, as in English. 

X, x, sounds as ks or gs, never as sh. In some old Spanish 
words it is pronounced as Spánish j (aspirate h), as Mexico, 
pronounced May'-he-co. 

Y, y, when a consonant, sounds as in the English word year, 

young. When it stands alone as a conjunction (meaning and), 
or is at the end of a word, it is a vowel, and has the sound of 
Spanish i (English long e). > 

Z, z, has the sound of th in thick, thatph, thought: same as 

Spanish c before e, i. , > 

The Key to Peonunciattoh 

In a line at the foot of each page will be found a key giving 
the sounds of letters in Spanish that differ-most from the equiv¬ 
alent English letters. Those who make themselves-thoroughly 
conversant with the simple rules given above; will find little 
difficulty in pronouncing Spanish words. When-a word occurs 
that is not covered by the Key,, the pronunciation is. given in 
brackets. . .■ .¿r?'- ..'.c;/. - . ' 



RULES FOR SPANISH PRONUNCIATION 


Vil 


Rules por Spanish Accentuation 

1. Place the inflection on every vowel that has the graphic 
accent; e. g., cántara, cantará, baúl, corazón, alegría, esdrújulo, 
págaselo, castíguésemele. 

2. On words not accented, ending with a vowel, or with an n 
or s, place the inflection on the penultimate syllable; e. g., can¬ 
tara, cataclismo, ordinario, caramelos, contradicen (accent thus : 
cantaba, cataclis'mo, ordina rio, caramelos, contradicen). 

3. On words not accented, ending with a consonant (except 
n or s), place the inflection on the last syllable ; e. g., principal, 
contemplad, conocer, albornoz, occiput (accent thus: principal', 
contemplad', conocer', albornoz', occiput'). 

Irregular Verbs 

The fundamental modes of irregular verbs are given with 
each infinitive, and likewise the mutations of letters occurring 
in some regular verbs—a feature not heretofore presented in 
any dictionary of the Spanish language.

PREFACIO 


Los prodigiosos descubrimientos é invenciones que marcan el 
progreso realizado de medio siglo á esta parte en todos los ramos 
de la actividad humana, y sus múltiples aplicaciones á los usos de 
la vida han enriquecido de tal modo el vocabulario de las lenguas 
modernas, y muy particularmente de la inglesa, que cada día se 
hace sentir más la necesidad de un diccionario que responda á las 
exigencias del creciente intercambio de ideas y productos entre 
los pueblos de la raza anglo-sajona y los que hablan la armoniosa 
lengua castellana. 

Á mediados del siglo XIX vio la luz el diccionario bilingüe de 
Velázquez, basado sobre el antiguo de Seoane, Neuman y Baretti, 
y aumentado con multitud de vocablos que lo ponían á la altura 
de aquella época. 

Cuantos diccionarios se han publicado posteriormente, tanto 
en Europa como en América, han sido meras copias del famoso 
léxico de Velázquez, ó, á lo sumo, revisiones más ó menos concien¬ 
zudas, con aditamento de algunas palabras modernas. Pero, por 
muy meritorias que sean algunas de esas revisiones, resultan defi¬ 
cientes en la práctica para los que tienen ocasión de consultar con 
frecuencia el diccionario. 

Esa experiencia ha evidenciado la necesidad de compilar un 
diccionario bilingüe enteramente nuevo, trazado sobre un patrón 
más moderno y más exacto que el que ha servido para los publi¬ 
cados hasta hoy día. 

El propósito á que se ha ajustado la presente obra ha sido reu¬ 
nir en un volumen manuable el más nutrido, completo y correcto 
vocabulario de los idiomas inglés y español que pueda hallarse en 
un diccionario bilingüe, descartando un sinnúmero de arcaísmos, 
vocablos desusados, provincialismos y palabras de incorrecta .orto¬ 
grafía de que suelen estar plagados otros diccionarios y que sólo 
contribuyen á engrosar su tamaño. 

Con este fin, y para que el diccionario resulte enteramente 
nuevo y contenga los más recientes y autorizados neologismos de 
uno y otro idioma, el autor ha adoptado como base y punto de 
partida para la Parte española-inglesa, la reciente edición del

PREFACIO 


Diccionario de la Academia, transcribiendo palabra por palabiiw 
cuantos vocablos contiene aquel léxico, asi como todos los mas 
usuales modismos, con la sola excepción de las voces anticuadas 
y de las que han caído totalmente en desuso, y anotando los 
equivalentes ingleses de las diversas acepciones de cada palabra. 
Igual procedimiento se ha seguido para la Parte inglesa-española, 
sirviendo de base el admirable Standard Dictionary , también de 
reciente publicación, cuyos vocablos, acepciones y modismos se 
han transcrito con sus equivalencias castellanas. 

El convencimiento de que el oficio y la verdadera utilidad de 
todo diccionario bilingüe consisten en dar equivalencias en lugar 
de definiciones que en nada auxilian al traductor y que éste 
puede buscar en el diccionario de su propio idioma, ha hecho 
necesaria una cuidadosa y ardua labor de investigación para hallar 
los equivalentes exactos en una y otra lengua, especialmente de 
las voces de tecnología científica y de los tecnicismos mercantile? 
é industriales que en gran número se han incluido en esta obra, 
por considerarlos de suma utilidad dado el creciente desarrollo 
de las relaciones entre los Estados Unidos y los países hispano¬ 
americanos. 

Para tener una idea de lo nutrida que va esta obra en punto á 
tecnicismos, bastará cotejar las voces cuyas raíces son electr •-, 
hydr-, micro-, photo -, con las de otros diccionarios bilingües, sin 
contar los innumerables términos que figuran entre las acepciones 
de muchos vocablos y cuyo carácter técnico se indica por medio 
de una abreviatura entre paréntesis, lo cual, sobre economizar 
espacio y hacer inútiles otras explicaciones, es de gran auxilio 
para el traductor. 

En otro punto esencial difiere esta obra de todos los diccio¬ 
narios bilingües publicados hasta la fecha, y es en el sistema de 
anotación fonética adoptado para representar la pronunciación 
inglesa. Tras un estudio detenido de este importantísimo punto 
y después de examinar cuidadosamente los sistemas adoptados 
en otros diccionarios, el autor ha formulado uno enteramente 
nuevo que se expone á continuación, en el cual ha procurado sim¬ 
plificar las dificultades que presenta la pronunciación inglesa, 
reduciéndolas á una clave breve, sencilla y de fácil aplicación. 

Multum in parvo ha sido el ideal que ha perseguido el autor 
en la compilación de esta obra, y al logro de este empeño han 
coadyuvado eficazmente los editores produciendo un libro que 
contiene, en forma compacta y de esmerada tipografía, mayor 
suma de información que otros voluminosos diccionarios.

PRONUNCIACIÓN INGLESA 


El alfabeto inglés consta de 26 letras, de las cuales cinco son 
vocales, veinte consonantes y una,—la y ,—lo mismo que en cas¬ 
tellano, puede hacer ambos oficios. 

Pero así como el alfabeto español tiene 28 letras para expresar 
los 25 sonidos que constituyen la fonética del idioma, no bastan 
las 26 letras del alfabeto inglés para representar los numerosos 
sonidos que se emplean en la revesada pronunciación de esa 
lengua. Ni siquiera están acordes los filólogos ingleses respecto 
del número de sonidos de su fonética, pues mientras la Asociación 
Filológica Americana limita á 32 los sonidos fundamentales, hay 
gramáticos que reconocen 43 sonidos distintos (Richard Morris 
en Historical Outlines of English Accidence , pp. 61, 62), y otros 
los hacen ascender á 46 (Evan Daniel en The Grammar , History 
and Derivation of the English Language , p. 290). La segunda cifra 
parece ser la más aproximada, puesto que solamente á las vocales 
hay que asignar 19 sonidos diferentes, quedando 24 para las con¬ 
sonantes, sin contar el de la Te, q y x que lo tienen repetido. 

No tan sólo respecto de los sonidos fundamentales, sino hasta 
en la pronunciación de numerosas palabras están en completo 
desacuerdo filólogos y lexicógrafos ingleses de reconocida autori¬ 
dad, puesto que no hay reglas generales que determinen la recta 
pronunciación de los vocablos; dándose el caso de que algunos de 
ellos,—como por ejemplo caricature, exemplary , expurgator, fa¬ 
miliarity, cynosure, capillary , euthanasia, etc— pueden pronun¬ 
ciarse de diez ó doce modos distintos, según el diverso parecer de 
los peritos. ( V. Standard Dictionary, Disputed Pronuncia¬ 
tions, pp. 2287-2308.) 

Son tantas las dificultades prosódicas que presenta el idioma, 
que los lexicógrafos ingleses se ven en la necesidad de representai 
en los diccionarios de la lengua, por medio de una clave fonética, 
la correcta pronunciación de cada vocablo. Pero tampoco en este 
punto de la representación ortológica por medio de “fonemas” ó 
signos convencionales se encuentra concordancia en los dicciona¬ 
rios de pronunciación. Basta leer en el prefacio de los grandes 
léxicos,—como el monumental del Dr. Murray que se publica en 
Oxford, y los de Webster, Century y Standard publicados en los 
Estados Unidos,—la parte que dedican á explanar el sistema que 
en cada uno de ellos se ha adoptado para representar fonética¬ 
mente la pronunciación, para comprender las dificultades que 
ofrece la representación exacta por medio de signos gráficos de

PRONUNCIACIÓN INGLESA 


los 43 sonidos distintos que componen la fonética del idioma. Y 
si esto es así tratándose de diccionarios destinados á personas 
para quienes el inglés es idioma vernáculo, ¿ qué no será cuando 
se intente dar á conocer por modo gráfico esos sonidos á personas 
de habla distinta, para las cuales muchos de ellos son totalmente 
desconocidos y de difícil pronunciación ? 

En la imposibilidad, pues, de representar de un modo fiel y 
exacto y al mismo tiempo de fácil comprensión, todas las diversas 
y finísimas graduaciones de los sonidos vocales y de algunas ar¬ 
ticulaciones consonantes del idioma inglés, creemos preferible 
evitar la confusión que pudiera producir una clave complicada, y 
nos limitaremos á dar una representación aproximada de la pro¬ 
nunciación de cada vocablo , tal como se leería en castellano , valién¬ 
donos para ello de las letras de nuestro alfabeto que mejor la in¬ 
diquen, excepto para unos cuantos sonidos extraños á nuestra 
lengua que será preciso representar con caracteres especiales. 
Con ese fin presentamos á continuación una sencillísima clave 
fonética, cuyo uso no puede ofrecer la menor dificultad después 
de leer las explicaciones que la acompañan. La comparación que 
en ellas se hace de ciertos sonidos ingleses con otros similares del 
francés, alemán, italiano y catalán, podrá servir á los que viven 
en países donde no se habla el inglés para consultar á las personas 
que conozcan alguno de los citados idiomas y oir de viva voz 
dichos sonidos, único modo de aprenderlos correctamente. 

CLAVE Y EXPLICACIÓN DE LOS SONIDOS QUE MÁS SE 
DIFERENCIAN DEL CASTELLANO 

a (¡ breve ) íbifüc* 

§ 1. Uno de los seis sonidos que tiene la a es indefinido entre la a 
y la e, parecido al que suelen dar á la a los catalanes: este sonido que 
se encuentra en vocablos como fat, mail, hat, have, etc., lo repre¬ 
sentaremos con el mismo signo con que lo designaban los anglo-sajo- 
nes, que es el adoptado en el diccionario de Oxford . . . . » 

C — 8 — Z 

• 

§ 2. En ciertos casos estas tres consonantes tienen un sonido suave 
igual al que tiene la s ó la 2 francesa en las palabras rose, maison, 
gazon, ó la italiana y catalana en rosa, casa, ó la alemana en rose, 
nase. Este sonido se encuentra en palabras inglesas como sacrifice, 
suffice ; has, noise, rose, nose, ribs ; ze al, prtee, y lo represen¬ 
taremos con el signo .§ 

c = s = sh = t = x 

§ 3. Estas consonantes en ciertas palabras tienen un sonido igual 
á la ch francesa en chiffon, peche, ó á la se italiana en scivolare, uscire, 
pesce, ó á la sch alemana en schiff,fisch, kirsche, ó á la x catalana en 
xicot, caixal, peix. Este sonido que se encuentra en las palabras 
inglesas ocean, social, precious ; dimension, sure; sftip, flsft; 
action, partial; anxious, etc.; lo representaremos con el grupo . sh 



PRONUNCIACIÓN - INGLESA 


VÜ 


e = i = o = u = y fonlüco 

§ 4. Estas vocales tienen en un sinnúmero de voces inglesas un 
sonido medio entre o y e, ó entre e y u, casi igual al diptongo fran¬ 
cés eu, en deux, peur, leur , ó al triptongo francés ceu en ceuf, oeuvre, 
coeur, soeur, ó á la 6 alemana en schon, borse, Korper. Es tal vez el 
sonido más común en inglés: se encuentra en palabras como ermine, 
verge, preference; proper; firm, Sir, irksome, virgin; son, 
done, other; million, mansion, director; 1mff, imt, ws, cwr; 
current, butter; myrtle, etc., y lo representaremos con . . 09 

g=j=s=z 

§ 5. En algunos vocablos, como yiant, colleye; eTohn, Joseph; 
pleasure, leisure; evasion, illusion, corrosion; a^ure, seizure, 

etc., estas consonantes tienen un sonido parecido al descrito en el 
§ 3 (sh), pero mucho más suave. Es un sonido igual al que tiene la g 
antes de e, i 6 bien la j en francés ( géant , college, Jean, Joseph), ó en 
italiano ( Giovanni , Giuseppe, Gerardo ), ó en catalán ( gegant, col-legi , 

Joan, Josep) y se produce arqueando la lengua casi hasta tocar el cielo 
de la boca como para pronunciar fuertemente la y: este sonido lo 
representaremos por consiguiente con la letra mayúscula ... Y 

th 

Esta combinación tiene dos sonidos: uno suave y otro fuerte. 

§ 6. El sonido suave, que tiene en vocablos como the, this, that, 
them, es mucho más suave que la d castellana, y se pronuncia tocando 
suavemente con la lengua el borde de los dientes superiores; por con¬ 
siguiente lo representaremos con la letra mayúscula . . . . D 

§ 7. El sonido fuerte, que tiene en vocablos como f/iick, threat, 
theatre, truth, es igual al de la z castellana que se pronuncia no 
como una s, sino como en Castilla colocando la punta de la lengua 
entre los dos hileras de los dientes, y este sonido, para que no lo equi¬ 
voquen los hispano-americanos con la 5 , lo representaremos con z bas¬ 
tardilla . z 

Si el consultor de este diccionario procura retener en la memoria el sonido 
que corresponde á cada uno de los siete signos indicados, no tendrá la menor 
dificultad en pronunciar las palabras inglesas, leyendo como si fuera en 
castellano la representación fonética que acompaña á cada vocablo y cuidando 
de cargar la inflexión de voz en la vocal marcada con acento. 

Los sonidos de los numerosos diptongos y de las vocales y consonantes in¬ 
glesas no expresados arriba, se representarán aproximadamente como suenan 
en castellano. 

En resumen: la correcta pronunciación del inglés sólo puede aprenderse de 
viva voz; por muy detallada y comprensiva que sea una clave fonética, el 
estudiante que no tenga otro medio para aprender los sonidos, sólo llegará á 
adquirir una pronunciación aproximada é imperfecta; cuanto más sencilla y 
«clara sea dicha clave, más se le facilitará el estudio de la pronunciación en los 
principios, y después, cuando esté más avanzado en el conocimiento del idioma, 
podrá con más provecho perfeccionar su pronunciación consultando léxicos 
ingleses como el Webster, Standard ó Century.

ADVERTENCIA 


PARA LA MEJOR COMPRENSIÓN DE ALGUNOS SIGNOS USADOS 

EN ESTE LIBRO 

La tendencia á simplificar la ortografía hace que en los Estados Unidos se 
elimine alguna letra innecesaria en ciertas palabras como clamor, honor, 
labor, que en Inglaterra continúan escribiéndose en su integridad (clamour, 
honour, labour). Estas y otras supresiones parecidas, autorizadas por el uso 
y por los lexicógrafos, se indican cerrando con un paréntesis la letra que suele 
ó puede suprimirse, v. gr.: clamo(u)r, hono(u)r, labo(u)r, jewel(l)er, jewel- 
(le)ry, judg(e)ment, rat(t)an, gast(e)ropod. 

Asimismo, para economizar espacio, se marcan con un paréntesis algunos 
substantivos y los numerosos adjetivos que tienen dos terminaciones, v. gr.: 
gelatin(e, presage(ment, knur(l, kurd(ish, labiate(d, grammatical, 
comic(al, que pueden escribirse íntegramente ó bien gelatin, presage, knur, 
kurd, labiate, grammatic, comic. 

En la representación fonética de los vocablos que tienen dos terminaciones 
ó de aquellos que pueden pronunciarse de dos maneras distintas, se suprimen 
las sílabas idénticas que ya sabrá suplir el buen sentido del lector, v. gr : pre¬ 
cursi ve, precursory [preccérsiv, sori], pronúnciese [precoérsiv, preccérsori ]; 
predecessor [pre- ó (pri-) deséscer], quiere decir que esa palabra puede pronun¬ 
ciarse [predeséscer ó prideséscer]; predominance, predominancy [prédomi- 
nans, i], quiere decir que la primera se pronuncia [predóminans] y la segunda 
[predóminansi]. 

Los vocablos que no van acompañados de representación fonética, como 
lord, mar, mark, nest, park, part, pass, rich, rip, etc., se pronuncian en 
inglés aproximadamente como se leen en castellano.
