How Do You Spell CENTIPED?
Pronunciation: [sˈɛntɪpt] (IPA) 
The correct spelling of the word for a many-legged arthropod is "centipede," not "centiped." This is because the final syllable is pronounced with an "ee" sound, not an "ed" sound. The International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) transcription for this word is /ˈsɛntɪpiːd/. The first syllable is pronounced with the "s" sound, followed by a short "e" sound. The second syllable is stressed and pronounced with a short "i" sound, followed by a long "e" sound, and ending with a soft "d" sound.
