How Do You Spell LVI?
Pronunciation: [ˌɛlvˌiːˈa͡ɪ] (IPA) 
The word "lvi" is a tricky one to spell, as it is actually not an English word but rather a Finnish word meaning "lion". The IPA transcription for "lvi" is /lʋi/. The reason for the unconventional spelling is due to the Finnish language's use of the letter "v" to represent a labiodental approximant sound, which is similar to the English "v" sound but with the bottom lip pressed against the upper teeth. So, "lvi" is spelled as such to accurately represent the pronunciation in Finnish.
