Here are the IPA equivalents of the Collins code for German-English.
RE: Avant-garde, it is listed as exemplifying a nasal vowel in the
Collins pronunciation key, and occurs in the English-German dictionary,
where it is translated into German as Avantgarde.  However, it does
not appear in the German-English dictionary.

I'll drop by with your hardcopy dictionary today or tomorrow.
Thanks.
