How Do You Spell ENKINDLE?

Pronunciation: [ɛnkˈɪndə͡l] (IPA)

The word "enkindle" is spelled with a silent "e" at the end, which indicates a long vowel sound in the syllable before it. IPA phonetic transcription of this word is /ɛnˈkɪndl̩/, where the stressed syllable is indicated by the apostrophe after the "n". The "k" sound is followed by the schwa sound, represented by the upside-down "e" symbol. The "d" sound is in the final syllable, which is unstressed and therefore reduced to a syllabic consonant /l̩/.
