| Jun 28 at 1:28 | comment | added | Draconis♦ | @Arfrever Yeah, that's what the last paragraph's intended for; CELEX considers aʊ to be a single phoneme, for example, but you could also make a fine argument that it's two. | |
| Jun 28 at 1:07 | comment | added | Arfrever | I think that "scrounged", "[re]straints" and "[e]stranged" have the longer syllable with 8 phonemes. | |

| Jun 27 at 16:46 | comment | added | Draconis♦ | @Ky- Thirteenth on the list! | |
| Jun 27 at 16:40 | comment | added | Ky - | A friend also brought to me "strengths" | |
