The word "aneuronic" (ænjuːˈrɒnɪk) refers to a condition or state in which the neurons in the body appear to be absent or not functioning properly. The spelling of this word can be explained by breaking it down into its individual phonetic components. The "ae" sound represents the "æ" symbol in IPA, which is a short version of the "a" sound. The "eu" is pronounced as "juː," which represents the "u" sound in a similar way. The final "nic" is pronounced as "ˈrɒnɪk," which is the standard pronunciation for the word "neurologic."
