Account

German edit

Etymology edit

Unadapted borrowing from English account. The alternative pronunciations are due to the fact that German has no native initial /ə/ (though in the case of /ɛ-/ perhaps also to a falsely assumed English pronunciation).

Pronunciation edit

IPA^(key): /əˈkaʊ̯nt/, (also) /ɛˈkaʊ̯nt/, /aˈkaʊ̯nt/

Noun edit

Account m or (uncommon) n (strong, genitive Accounts, plural Accounts)
