The spelling of "alpha grannle" may seem puzzling, but its pronunciation becomes clearer with the use of IPA phonetic transcription. The word is pronounced /ˈælfə ˈɡrænl/. The first syllable "alf" is pronounced with the vowel sound of "a" as in "cat," followed by the consonant sound of "f". The second syllable "a granl" is pronounced with the two vowel sounds of "a" and "a" as in "cat" separated by the consonant sound of "g," followed by the consonant sound of "r," and ending with the consonant sound of "l."
Eosinophile, acidophile, or oxyphile g., one of the cell granules which take up an acid stain from any mixture; seen in the coarsely granular oxyphile leucocyte.
