How Do You Spell HREODBEORHT?
Pronunciation: [ˈe͡ɪt͡ʃɹɪˈɒdbɪˌɔːht] (IPA) 
Hreodbeorht is a rare Old English name meaning "bright reed". The spelling may seem complex, but it follows the phonetic rules of the language. The initial "h" is pronounced with a breathy sound, while the "eo" diphthong is pronounced as in "yeoman". The "d" and "b" sounds are both voiced, with the "r" sound rolled or trilled. Finally, the "ht" ending marks a sound that has disappeared from modern English, pronounced as a breathy "t" or "h" sound.
