Author's Note: Please note that regional variations in pronunciation may make some of these seem to your ears as not fitting the given pronunciation. You may feel that another neutral vowel would be closer, or indeed (in the case of -ism words) no vowel at all. But these pronunciations can be attested in various sources, even if sometimes marked as a variant.
