Euapogamy is a biological term that describes self-fertilization in flowering plants. The word is spelled "yoo-a-paw-guh-mee" using the IPA phonetic transcription. The first syllable "yoo" is pronounced like the word "you", followed by "uh", "paw" like the animal, "guh", and "mee" as in "me". The "eu" in the beginning of the word is pronounced as "yoo", which can be confusing as it typically represents a different sound.
