The word 'bubonulus' is not commonly known, but its spelling can be broken down using IPA phonetic transcription. The word begins with the consonant cluster 'b', followed by the vowel sound 'u', pronounced as in 'boot'. Next comes the consonant sound 'b' again, followed by the vowel sound 'o', pronounced as in 'go'. The next syllable begins with the consonant cluster 'nul', followed by the vowel sound 'u' again. The word ends with the consonant cluster 'us', pronounced similarly to the word 'bus'. Together, these sounds make up the unusual and rarely used word 'bubonulus'.
