The word "Subnude" is a potentially confusing term in terms of spelling. When broken down phonetically, the word is written as /sʌbˈnju:d/. The first syllable is pronounced with a short "uh" sound and the second syllable has a long "oo" sound. The "n" sound is pronounced clearly in both syllables. While the word "Subnude" may not be commonly used, it's important to understand the phonetic breakdown of lesser-known words to avoid confusion and spelling errors.
