The word "Guthrunne" may seem like a challenge to spell, but once you become familiar with its phonetic transcription, it becomes much easier. The word can be broken down into three syllables: "Guth" /ɡʊθ/, "run" /rʌn/, and "ne" /ni/. The "Guth" syllable is pronounced with a hard "G," similar to the beginning of the word "goose." The "run" syllable is pronounced like the word "run" in English, and the "ne" syllable is pronounced like the word "knee." Together, the word is pronounced /ˈɡʊθrʌni/ and refers to a female name with Norse origins.
