The spelling of the word "Konite" is somewhat complex, and requires some knowledge of phonetics to understand. In IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet), the word would be transcribed as /ˈkoʊnaɪt/, which breaks down as "koh-nyt". The "k" sound is followed by the long "o" sound, and then the "n" sound, before ending with the "ait" sound. This unique spelling reflects the origins of the word, which may have come from a proper noun or specialized scientific term.
