Rhinopome is a rare zoological term, referring to a snout-like projection or appendage on certain animal species. The spelling of this word can be explained through the use of the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). "Rhin-" is pronounced as "rʌɪn" and "-opome" as "ɒpəʊm". The stress falls on the first syllable, rhin, making it sound like "RYE-nuh-pome". The spelling of this word follows typical English rules, with the "h" indicating a hard "h" sound and the "e" at the end being silent.
