The word Lipines can be confusing to spell as it contains a silent 'e'. Its IPA phonetic transcription is /ləˈpiːnz/. The first syllable is pronounced with an unstressed /ə/ vowel sound, followed by a stressed long /iː/ sound. The final syllable has a weakly pronounced, unstressed /n/ sound. In terms of spelling, the word is spelled with two sets of double consonants, 'pp' and 'nn', which can also add to the confusion.
