"Strope" is a word that is rarely used in modern English but can be spelled using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) as /stroʊp/. The IPA transcription breaks down the pronunciation of the word into individual sounds, beginning with a "s" sound, followed by a "t" sound, then a long "o" sound, and ending with a "p" sound. The spelling of the word, which includes the uncommon combination of "st" and "ope," can lead to confusion in its pronunciation and usage.
