Juments is a French word that is used to refer to female equines, such as mares, horses, or jennies. The spelling of this word may seem confusing at first because of silent letters and the use of "ents" at the end. However, the IPA phonetic transcription can help clarify the spelling. The correct pronunciation of juments is /ʒymɑ̃/, where the "j" is pronounced like "zh" in "measure" and the "u" and "e" are silent.
