The word "epirhizous" is quite a mouthful, with its long syllables and complicated spelling. In IPA phonetic transcription, it would be pronounced as ɛpɪˈraɪz əs. The "e" at the beginning is pronounced like the "e" in "bed", followed by the "pi" sound as in "pie", then the "rh" sound as in "rhinoceros". The "ou" is pronounced as a long "oo" sound, like in "food", and finally the "s" is pronounced normally. Remembering the IPA transcription can help with the spelling and pronunciation of this unusual word.
