[Editors] phonetic spelling inquiry

[Julie Pryor]

Happy summer, editors!

I have an unusual question and I have a feeling someone on this list may know the answer. I’m looking for the phonetic spelling of the word Scientia , which, according to my source, is pronounced like this:

SEE EN TEE AH

Note that this may not be the only way to pronounce this word, and it may not even be the correct way to pronounce this word, but I have to come up with the phonetic spelling for this specific pronunciation.

Based on the Merriam Webster definition of scientia<http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/scientia>, I gather that the correct phonetic spelling is this:

sēˈentēə

But I’d like an independent source to confirm. I’m not up to speed on my phonetic spellings. Is there an online resource for this kind of thing? Or would anyone on this list know if I’m on the right track? Thanks for any help you can provide!

Signed,

Julie
