How Do You Spell DROST?
The Dutch word "drost" is spelled with four letters, yet its pronunciation is trickier than one might assume. The IPA phonetic transcription of "drost" is /drɔst/. While it may seem straightforward at first glance, the use of the "o" sound in place of the expected "u" sound can cause confusion for English speakers. Additionally, the paired consonants "st" are pronounced as a single sound, making the word sound more like "drosst" rather than "drossed" as it would be in English.
