The spelling of the word "Clarine" is unique and can be quite confusing at first. The correct pronunciation is /kləˈriːn/, which can be broken down phonetically as kluh-REEN. The "C" in the beginning is pronounced as a "K" sound and the "E" at the end is pronounced as a long "EE" sound. This spelling can be attributed to the French derivation of the word "clarinet", which is where the name Clarine likely originated.
