The word CONCUBEANT is a rare and archaic term that means "to lie together." Its spelling is unique and may be confusing for non-native speakers or those unfamiliar with antique vocabulary. In IPA, the word is transcribed as /kənˈkjuːbiənt/. The "k" sound is followed by a schwa sound, then a stressed "kyoo" sound, and "b" sound. The final syllable is pronounced with a schwa sound followed by a "nt" sound.
