The spelling of the word "Pigram" may be misleading to some, as it is not commonly used and could be mistaken for other words. Its correct pronunciation is /ˈpɪɡræm/ (PIG-ram), with the stress on the first syllable. The "i" in the second syllable is pronounced as a short "i", and the "a" at the end is pronounced as a schwa sound. "Pigram" is a rare word meaning a small block of stone inscribed with a short message or design, often used as a milestone or boundary marker.
