How Do You Spell QUINQUELOBARED?

Pronunciation: [kwˈɪnkwɪlˌɒbe͡əd] (IPA)

"Quinquelobared" is a rare word that means having five lobes or divisions. Its spelling can be challenging to remember due to the cluster of consonants in the middle of the word. The IPA phonetic transcription of this word is /kwɪŋ.kɛl.ə.bærd/. The "ng" consonant cluster represents the sound /ŋ/, while the "qu" and "c" represent variations of the /k/ sound. The double "l" indicates a lengthened /l/ sound, and the "e" that follows it represents an unstressed vowel sound. Finally, the suffix "-ed" indicates that the word is in the past tense.
