How Do You Spell SAPHIROS?
Pronunciation: [safˈi͡əɹə͡ʊz] (IPA) 
The spelling of the word "Saphiros" might seem unusual to those unfamiliar with the IPA phonetic transcription. In this system, the "s" sounds like "z" and the "ph" sounds like "f", so the pronunciation is actually "za-fi-ros". The combination of the "ph" and "i" creates a long "i" sound that is not immediately obvious from the spelling. Despite its idiosyncratic spelling, "Saphiros" has a melodic ring and could make for an appealing name for a product or brand.
