The spelling of the word "rhtype" may seem unusual, but it actually follows the rules of English phonetics. The letters "rh" represent a voiced retroflex fricative, which is pronounced by curling the tip of the tongue backwards and upwards. The "t" is pronounced with an aspirated sound, indicated by the "h" following it. Finally, the "ype" is pronounced with a long "i" sound, as in "type." So, the correct pronunciation of "rhtype" would be /ɹɛə˞taɪp/.
