alarm

alarm: [14] Alarm was originally a call to arms. It comes from the Old Italian phrase all’ arme ‘to the weapons!’ This was lexicalized as the noun allarme, which was borrowed into Old French as alarme, and thence into English. The archaic variant alarum seems to have arisen from an emphatic rolling of the r accompanying a prolongation of the final syllable when the word was used as an exclamation.

zzz：打呼噜

字母Z在英国英语中发/zed/，在美国英语中则发成/ziː/，发音类似鼾声（snoring），所以人们在口语中常以catch/get/make some z's这一短语表示“小睡片刻”。几十年来，zzz一直被漫画家用来表示鼾声。zzz亦作ZZZ。
