The word "VRBESS" has an unusual spelling, but it can be pronounced as /ˈvɜrbɛs/. The first sound, represented by "V," is a voiced labiodental fricative (/v/), while the "R" sound is an alveolar trill (/r/), produced by vibrating the tongue against the roof of the mouth. The letters "BE" form a diphthong (/ɛɪ/), with the mouth moving from an open sound to a tense sound. The final "SS" represents a voiceless alveolar sibilant (/s/), produced by airflow across the narrow opening between the tongue and the alveolar ridge.
