How Do You Spell TRAUMATOPYRA?
Pronunciation: [tɹˌɔːmɐtəpˈa͡ɪɹə] (IPA) 
The word "traumatopyra" is a made-up term that seems to come from combining the words "trauma" and "pyre." It is pronounced /tɹɔmətoʊpaɪɹə/, with the stress falling on the second syllable. The spelling adheres to English orthographic rules; the letters "au" and "y" can represent the same sound, /ɔ/, and the letter "py" represents the sound /paɪ/, as in "pyramid." While this word is not commonly used, it is a valid neologism that expresses the idea of a traumatic experience that leads to a process of purification or catharsis.
