The word "nayed" is spelled with four letters: n-a-y-e-d. The first sound, /n/, is made by placing the tip of the tongue on the alveolar ridge, while the vocal cords vibrate. The second sound, /eɪ/, is a diphthong that starts with an open mouth and ends with a raised tongue. The third sound, /d/, is made by placing the tongue behind the upper teeth and stopping the airflow. The final sound, /d/, is the same as the third. Together, these sounds create the word "nayed," which means to reject or veto.
