How Do You Spell HOMILIZES?
Pronunciation: [hˈɒmɪlˌa͡ɪzɪz] (IPA) 
The spelling of the word "homilizes" can be confusing for some because it contains a cluster of three consonants in the middle. The IPA phonetic transcription of the word is /ˈhɑməˌlaɪzəz/. Breaking it down, "ho" is pronounced /hɑ/, "mi" is pronounced /mə/ and "li" is pronounced /laɪ/. The cluster "ziz" is pronounced /zəz/. So, when saying "homilizes", remember to separate the consonants for a clear articulation: "hah-muh-lie-ziz". The word means to preach or deliver a sermon.
