How Do You Spell KOONCE?

Pronunciation: [kˈuːns] (IPA)

The word "koonce" is a little tricky to spell because it doesn't follow typical English spelling rules. It is actually pronounced like "kuns" with an extra "k" sound at the beginning, so its IPA phonetic transcription is /kʌns/. The "ce" on the end may seem unnecessary, but it is used to preserve the original pronunciation in some dialects, especially in the Southern United States. So even though it may not look like it, "koonce" is actually the proper spelling for this word.
