Corrections: - coughed/coughs: Add AA1 variant as v1 to match base "cough" (K AA1 F). Previously only had AO1, inconsistent with cough v1 and coughing v1. - matured: Add CH variant (M AH0 CH UH1 R D) as v1 to match "mature" v1. Previously only had T Y (/tj/), the British variant. - immature: Same fix — add CH variant as v1 to match "mature" and "immaturity" which already use CH. - privatize: Change v1 from P R IH1 to P R AY1 to match "private", "privatized", "privatizing", and "privatization" which all use AY1. Keep IH1 as v2. - psalm/psalms: Swap variant ordering so the standard silent-L pronunciation (S AA1 M) is v1. Both Cambridge and Merriam-Webster list /sɑːm/ as primary AmE pronunciation.

Summary
Changes
Inconsistent vowel in derived forms: coughed, coughs
coughhas two variants (AA1 and AO1), andcoughingcorrectly has both. Butcoughedandcoughsonly had the AO1 variant, inconsistent with the base form.British /tj/ instead of American /tʃ/: matured, immature
maturev1 uses CH (/tʃ/, standard AmE), and so domatures,maturing, andimmaturity. Butmaturedandimmatureonly had T Y (/tj/, British).Wrong first vowel: privatize
private,privatized,privatizing, andprivatizationall use AY1. Onlyprivatizehad IH1.Variant ordering: psalm, psalms
The L in "psalm" is silent in standard AmE (Cambridge: /sɑːm/, Merriam-Webster: /ˈsäm/). Swapped so the silent-L pronunciation is v1.
