How Do You Spell ORLYMANITE?

Pronunciation: [ˈɔːlɪmˌana͡ɪt] (IPA)

The word "orlymanite" is a rare mineral found in the Mont Saint-Hilaire locality in Quebec, Canada. Its peculiar spelling can be explained using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA): /ɔːliːmənaɪt/. The first syllable is pronounced with a long "o" sound, the second syllable has a long "i" sound, and the third syllable ends with a short "a" sound. The word's unique spelling is due to its discovery in 1963 by Canadian mineralogist, Gilles Haineault, who named it after the Orly Airport near Paris, France.
