The word "L TN" might look confusing, but it's actually a phonetic spelling of the word "elation". The IPA transcription for "elation" is /ɪˈleɪʃən/ which can be broken down into four sounds: /ɪ/ for the short "i" sound, /ˈleɪ/ for the diphthong "ay", /ʃ/ for the "sh" sound, and /ən/ for the schwa sound. When shortened to "L TN", it may not be immediately clear, but knowing the phonetic breakdown of the word can help with pronunciation.
