The word "lithomoschus" might seem tricky to spell, but it follows basic spelling patterns from Greek roots. Using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), we can break down the pronunciation as "luh-thuh-mos-kuss" (lɪθəˈmɑskəs). The first syllable "litho" refers to "stone," and "moschus" means "musk." The tricky part is the combination of the "th" sound in "litho" and the "s" sound in "moschus," but once we break it down with the IPA, we can confidently spell out this intriguing compound word.
