The Latin phrase "musculus iliacus minor" refers to a minor hip muscle. Its spelling can be broken down phonetically as /mʌs.kjʊ.ləs ɪˈlaɪ.ə.kəs maɪ.nər/. The IPA transcription breaks the word down into its individual sounds. The "m" sounds at the beginning of the three words can be linked together as they are all in the same syllable. The "k" and "j" sounds are combined to create the "kj" sound. The stress is on the second syllable in "iliacus" and the first syllable in "minor."
The external fibers of the m. iliacus inserted into the capsule of the hip-joint; they are sometimes distinctly separate from the rest of the muscle.
