The spelling of the word "drappie" can be somewhat confusing due to its unusual combination of sounds. The word is pronounced as [ˈdræp.i] with the stress on the first syllable. The "dr" sound in the beginning is similar to the sound in the word "dry" with a slight trill. The "a" sound is pronounced as in the word "cat". The following "p" and "ie" sounds are pronounced together, forming a double syllable. "P" is pronounced as in "pot" and "ie" as in "pie".
