The word "fulvid" is spelled with a "v" instead of a "f" despite sounding like "fulfid". This is because it is derived from the Latin word "fulvus" meaning "yellowish-brown" and Latin uses "v" as a consonant instead of "u". The IPA phonetic transcription of "fulvid" is /'fʊl.vɪd/ with the stress on the first syllable. This pronunciation should help differentiate it from similar sounding words like "fulfilled" or "fulgid".
