How Do You Spell APHEMIC?
Pronunciation: [ɐfˈɛmɪk] (IPA) 
Aphemic is a word that describes something that is lacking in sound, particularly with regards to speech. The spelling of this word is interesting because the "ph" combination often indicates an "f" sound in English. However, in this case, the "ph" sounds like "p." This can be explained through the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), where "ph" represents the sound "pʰ" which is the unaspirated voiceless bilabial stop. Therefore, "aphemic" is spelled with an "aph" rather than just "afemic" or "aemic".
