pronounciations at www.m-w.com


Hello.

Often I look up words at www.m-w.com and I love their online
dictionary.
One thing I don't understand though, is why they sometimes partially
leave out the pronounciation of a word.
For instance, if you look up the word 'vehement' (which is not exactly
trivial for a foreigner to pronounce), they only specify how the
last part of it is pronounced.
Can anyone please explain what possible rationale might be governing
their decision to leave out a portion of the pronounciation with no
obvious way to figure out what it should be (as far as I can see)?

Thanks in advance for any comments, kind regards, Niek
