The spelling of "goest" may seem unusual to some, but it follows the rules of Early Modern English. It is the second person singular conjugation of the verb "go" in the present tense, which was commonly used during the Shakespearean era. The IPA phonetic transcription of "goest" is /ɡoʊst/. This spelling includes the silent "e" at the end, which was added to indicate the elongation of the vowel sound in the verb's conjugation. While not commonly used in modern English, "goest" remains an important part of literary history.
