Pronunciation edit
audio (US) (file) - (Received Pronunciation) IPA(key): /ˈjʊɹənəs/, /jʊˈɹeɪnəs/
- (US) IPA(key): /ˈjʊɹənəs/, /juˈɹeɪnəs/
- Rhymes: -ʊɹənəs, -eɪnəs
- By the rules of Latin accentuation, the stress would fall on the first syllable because the "a" is short. The pronunciation with a stress on the second syllable is sometimes avoided today because of the homophony with your anus.[1]
