The word "otopolypus" may seem confusing at first glance, but its spelling is actually quite simple when you break it down using IPA phonetic transcription. The first syllable, "oto," corresponds to the sound /ɑtəʊ/, which is followed by "poly," pronounced /pɑlɪ/. Finally, the word ends with "-pus," which is pronounced as /pʌs/. When combined, these sounds create the word "otopolypus," which refers to a type of marine animal with multiple tentacles.
