The word "more trigonous" is spelled using IPA phonetic transcription as /mɔːr traɪˈɡɒnəs/. The first sound, /m/, is a bilabial nasal, produced by closing the lips and allowing air to flow through the nose. The following sounds, /ɔːr/, represent a diphthong, where the tongue moves from an open-mid back position to a rounded position. Finally, /traɪˈɡɒnəs/ is pronounced with a stressed long "i" sound and ends with a schwa sound. "Trigonous" means having three angles, and "more trigonous" means having more than three angles.
