Nonmeal is a word that refers to anything that is not a meal. The spelling of this word can be explained using IPA phonetic transcription as /nɒnmiːl/. The first syllable, "non," is pronounced with a short "o" sound (represented by the symbol /ɒ/) and ends with the consonant "n." The second syllable, "meal," is pronounced with a long "e" sound (represented by the symbol /iː/), followed by the consonant "l." Combining the two syllables, we get /nɒnmiːl/, the correct IPA transcription for "nonmeal."
