The word ventpeg refers to a peg or pin used to secure a vent in place. Its spelling is interesting, as it contains the consonant cluster /ntp/ which can be challenging to pronounce. The initial syllable /vɛnt/ is pronounced with a short "e" sound, followed by the consonant sound /nt/ which is formed by touching the tip of the tongue to the alveolar ridge and releasing a burst of air. Finally, the second syllable /pɛɡ/ is pronounced with a short "e" sound and the consonant sound /ɡ/ formed by pressing the back of the tongue against the soft palate.
