How Do You Spell APTERAL?
Pronunciation: [ˈaptəɹə͡l] (IPA) 
The word "apteral" is spelled with the letter combination "pt" in the middle, which can be tricky to pronounce. But with the IPA phonetic transcription, we can see that the "p" and "t" sounds are pronounced separately: /æp.tər.əl/. The first syllable is pronounced with the "a" sound as in "cat," followed by the "p" and "t" sounds. The second syllable is pronounced with the schwa sound, followed by the "r" and "l" sounds. Apteral means without wings, referring to a building or part of a building without ornamental projections.
