The third sound is represented by the /p/ symbol and is pronounced by briefly stopping the airflow with the lips. The final sound is represented by the /l/ symbol and is pronounced with the tip of the tongue touching the upper teeth. Therefore, "teeple" is pronounced as /tipl/.
The word "teeple" is actually a misspelling or variation of the word "steeple". The etymology of "steeple" dates back to Middle English, derived from the Old English word "stēpel" which means a tower or spire. This, in turn, can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic word "*stuplaz". The usage of "steeple" refers to the pointed and tall structure typically found on top of a church or building. It is often used to house bells or as a distinctive architectural feature.
