The spelling of the word "Gillins" is fairly straightforward. It consists of two syllables, with the stress falling on the first. The initial sound is a voiced velar stop /ɡ/. This is followed by the vowel sound /ɪ/, which is short and unrounded. The second syllable begins with a voiceless alveolar fricative /s/. This is followed by the vowel sound /ɪ/ again, and then a voiced alveolar nasal /n/. The final sound is another voiceless alveolar fricative /s/. So, altogether, "Gillins" is pronounced /ˈɡɪlɪnz/.
