How Do You Spell BOUNTIED?
Pronunciation: [bˈa͡ʊntɪd] (IPA) 
The word "bountied" is spelled with a "-tied" ending, rather than the more common "-tied" or "-ted" endings. This is because the word is derived from the noun "bounty", which is pronounced with a final "-ee" sound (IPA symbol /i/). Therefore, when the suffix "-ed" is added to form the past participle, it preserves the original pronunciation of the "t" as "t" plus "ee". The resulting word, "bountied", is pronounced with two syllables: /ˈbaʊn.tid/.
