How Do You Spell FLANARY?
Pronunciation: [flˈanəɹi] (IPA) 
The spelling of "flanary" can be a bit confusing. It is pronounced /ˈflænəri/ (flan-uh-ree), which may lead one to believe that it should be spelled with an "i" instead of a "y". However, the word has its origins in Irish Gaelic and the spelling follows the Gaelic tradition of using "y" instead of "i" in certain situations. The word refers to a flock of birds, particularly finches or small birds such as sparrows.
