4. Rules & guidance
Sometimes the root word is obvious and the usual rules apply for adding suffixes beginning with vowel letters.
Sometimes there is no obvious root word. –our is changed to –or before –ous is added. A final ‘e’ of the root word must be kept if the /dʒ/ sound of ‘g’ is to be kept.
If there is an /i:/ sound before the –ous ending, it is usually spelt as i, but a few words have e.
