How the Heck do you pronunciate Coralimorpharians?

[mr336]

Can someone please break this word down like the dictionary? where's the accent?

Crazy word...

And how bout Eunicid? The worm.

Example:

u-ni kid

u-ni-side

u-ni-sid

thanks

I have a thick upstate SC accent, but I'd reckon it's something like

cor-al-ih-morf-air-eeuns

or you can just say "c-morfs" and let everyone else figure it out.

I'm also a woodworker and we sometimes use cyanoacrylate glue (basically super glue). How on earth are we supposed to pronounce cyanoacrylate?

You just get used to the big words after awhile. Though coralimorphian is rather difficult still. It's that i in the middle. Without it, it would be pretty easy.

 

[icy1155]

Co-rail-i-mif-air-ians

and

u-ni-cid

Is how I have heard them pronounced.

Maybe it's best to leave the scholar words to the the scholar folk. It's embarrassing when you try and sound like you know what your flapping about and you (pronounce) it like a fifth grader and the educated listener picks up on it.

I try and google all these LARGE words but it doesnt help for most of them.

Here's one I can say. harpacticoid copepods
har-pact-i-coid.

Who thinks of this stuff?????
