"CYNK" is a curious word, but its pronunciation is even more intriguing. It is spelled as /sɪŋk/, which is a homophone to the word "sink." The IPA phonetic transcription reveals the reason for this spelling: the letter "C" represents the sound /s/ and the letter "Y" represents the sound /ɪ/. The letter "N" represents the sound /ŋ/, which is the same as the "ng" sound in "sing." The letter "K" represents the sound /k/. Therefore, "CYNK" is simply a phonetic representation of "sink" with an unusual twist.
