The word "carnine" is often misspelled as "carnivine". This mistake may occur due to the similar sound of both words. However, it is important to note that "carnine" is spelled with an "n" instead of "v". In IPA phonetic transcription, "carnine" would be represented as /ˈkɑr.naɪn/, while "carnivine" would be represented as /ˈkɑr.nə.vaɪn/. Knowing the correct spelling of words can help prevent confusion and ensure clear communication.
