How Do You Spell QUAKNESS?
Pronunciation: [kwˈaknəs] (IPA) 
The spelling of the word "Quakness" may seem peculiar, but it follows the rules of English phonetics. IPA transcription reveals that the "qua" is pronounced with a /kw/ sound, as in "queen." The "k" and "n" are pronounced as expected, and the "es" is pronounced like the "s" in "us." Finally, the word ends with a silent "s," producing a /kwæk.nəs/ sound. Despite its unconventional spelling, "Quakness" is a valid word in the English language, meaning the quality or state of being earthquake-prone.
