How Do You Spell SOLEA?
The word "solea" is a bit tricky when it comes to its spelling. It is derived from Latin and refers to the bottom of a shoe, particularly that of a sandal. The pronunciation of "solea" is /sɒˈliːə/, which contains two diphthongs, 'o-e' and 'e-a'. The 'o-e' sound is pronounced like a short 'o' followed by a long 'e', while 'e-a' sounds like a long 'e' followed by a short 'a'. So, the correct spelling of "solea" would be with an 'e' after the 'o', which is contrary to how it is commonly spelled as 'sole'.
