Maphenid is a pharmaceutical drug that is used to relieve pain and inflammation. Its spelling is based on the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) transcription system, which uses symbols to represent speech sounds. Specifically, the first syllable "maph" is pronounced /mæf/ (with the /æ/ sound as in "cat" and the /f/ sound as in "fan"), while the second syllable "enid" is pronounced /ˈɛnɪd/ (with the stress on the first syllable and the /ɪ/ sound as in "hit"). Therefore, the spelling "Maphenid" accurately reflects the sound of the word.
