How Do You Spell PHOSGENITE?
Pronunciation: [fˈɒsd͡ʒənˌa͡ɪt] (IPA) 
The word "Phosgenite" is spelled with a "ph" at the beginning because it comes from the Greek word "phosgene" which means "made by light". The "ph" sound is pronounced like an "f" in the IPA phonetic transcription. The rest of the word is spelled the way it sounds, with no silent letters. Phosgenite is a mineral composed of lead carbonate and chlorine. It has a transparent or translucent appearance and is often used in jewelry or as a collector's item.
