How Do You Spell CWDV?
Pronunciation: [sˌiːdˌʌbə͡ljˌuːdˌiːvˈiː] (IPA) 
CWDV is a four-letter acronym that stands for Chronic Wasting Disease of Venison, a deadly neurological disease found in deer and other cervids. It is pronounced /kɔːrdv/, where the first sound is the voiceless velar stop represented by "c", followed by the "w" sound that roughly sounds like the "oo" in "hook", and then the voiced dental fricative "d" followed by the voiced labio-dental fricative "v". The final sound is a voiceless velar stop represented by the letter "k". Correct spelling is crucial in scientific discussions of CWDV.
