The word "Cribrate" is spelled as /kraɪˈbreɪt/ in IPA phonetic transcription. It is derived from the Latin word "cribratus" which means "pierced" or "perforated". In English, it is primarily used in the scientific context to describe a structure with small holes or perforations. The spelling of this word follows the standard English phonetic rules, with the "i" pronounced as /aɪ/ and the "e" pronounced as /eɪ/. The stress falls on the second syllable, which is indicated by the acute accent above the "i".
Perforated like a sieve, or profusely pitted.
