The word "slaunchwise" is a seldom used adverb meaning "at an angle". Its spelling is unique with an unusual phonetic transcription [slɔːntʃwaɪz]. It consists of two syllables, with stress on the first syllable 'slaunch' which has a long 'o' sound, followed by 'wise' with a long 'i' sound. The '-ch' in 'slaunch' produces a voiceless postalveolar affricate [tʃ] sound, and the '-wise' is pronounced like 'wise' in 'otherwise'. Although rare, this word can be found in literature and poetry.
