The word "most epodic" is spelled based on the pronunciation of each sound in the word. The first sound /m/ is a voiced bilabial nasal, followed by the long vowel /oʊ/ and the voiceless interdental fricative /θ/. The second syllable begins with a voiced bilabial plosive /p/, followed by the diphthong /oʊ/ and the voiceless velar stop /k/. The final syllable ends with the voiced alveolar approximant /d/ and the voiceless alveolar plosive /k/. By breaking down each sound, we can understand the spelling of this unusual word.
