The word "ameboididity" may seem confusing at first glance, but its unique spelling can be broken down using IPA phonetic transcription. The first syllable, "am", is pronounced with a short "a" sound followed by the "m" consonant. The second syllable, "eb", is pronounced like the word "ebb" with a long "e" sound. The "oid" in the third syllable is pronounced like "oyd" with a diphthong sound. Finally, the "idity" at the end is pronounced with a short "i" sound followed by the "dity" consonant blend.
