Sea trifoly, spelled as "si: traɪfəli", is a botanical term used to describe the Trifolium repens species of clover. The word is derived from its three-lobed leaves, which often symbolize the Holy Trinity in Christianity. The pronunciation of "trifoly" is represented by the phonemes /traɪfəli/. The long ‘e’ sound is spelled with a single ‘e’, and ‘y’ is used to indicate the long ‘i’ sound.
