Amyelonic is a term used in genetics to describe an organism that lacks a specific gene related to the formation of the central nervous system. The word is spelled with five syllables: a-my-e-lo-nic. Using IPA phonetic transcription, it can be represented as /eɪˈmaɪlənɪk/. The stress is on the second syllable, which is pronounced as 'mye'. The 'e' in both the second and fourth syllable is pronounced with a schwa sound (/ə/). The last syllable is pronounced as 'nic', similar to the word 'nick'.
1. Amyelic. 2. Without bone-marrow. 3. Without participation of the bone marrow, therefore purely lymphatic; a term used in hematology.
