All the "e"'s in "Ebisedian" should be pronounced [@\] or at worst, [@].
You did correctly indicate that the second "e" is long, though.  Also,
under the entry for "ebisedic", "tensd" should be spelt "tends". :-)

Looks good. You actually got the orthography right. :-) One minor nitpick
though: "phenomina" should be spelt "phenomena". :-) Also, the first IPA
pronunciation you gave for "ferochromic" is probably the closest to what
it "ought" to be. But I'll let it pass, since it's an anglicization
anyway.
