The spelling of the word "more crouching" can be explained through its IPA phonetic transcription: /mɔr ˈkraʊtʃɪŋ/. The first syllable "mor" is pronounced with the open "ɔ" vowel sound, while the second syllable "e" is not pronounced at all. The stress is placed on the second syllable "crouch," which is pronounced with the diphthong "aʊ," and followed by the suffix "-ing," pronounced with the nasal "ŋ" sound. "More crouching" can refer to an action or state of being characterized by a low or squatting stance.
