How Do You Spell SALIVANT?

Pronunciation: [sˈalɪvənt] (IPA)

The spelling of the word "Salivant" is often confused with "Salivate". However, the two words are distinct in pronunciation and meaning. "Salivant" is pronounced "sælɪvənt" with the stress on the second syllable, and it means "a person who salivates excessively".

Proper pronunciation and spelling of these words can help prevent confusion and misinterpretation.
