"Longinymph" is an obscure term used in biology to describe a type of crustacean. The spelling of this word can be explained using the International Phonetic Alphabet. The first syllable is pronounced as "long" with a long o sound (lɒŋ), followed by "i" with a short i sound (ɪ), and then "ny" with a long i sound (naɪ). The second syllable is pronounced "mph" with a silent "n" and a short "f" sound (mf). Altogether, "longinymph" is pronounced as "LAWNG-ih-nimf" (lɒŋ-ɪ-nʌmf).
Noting an hypertrophy of the labia minora, as in the so-called Hottentot apron.
