The spelling of the word "sulphose" is derived from the chemical element sulfur. The IPA phonetic transcription for this word is [ˈsʌlfəʊs], which emphasizes the "sul" sound at the beginning of the word followed by the "f" sound. The "e" at the end of the word is silent, so it is not pronounced. The word "sulphose" is not a commonly used term in modern English, but it may be found in older chemistry texts as a synonym for a sulfur compound.
Trade name of a preparation of ammonium ichthyolsulphonate, used for the same purposes as ichthyol.
