Heard spelling

curymb

Spelled corymb. an unstressed vowel

The first vowel is an o.

Corymb, from Greek korymbos.

Curymb writes that vowel as u, which is what an English writer reaches for when a vowel is short and does not announce itself. It is short here, but it also carries the stress: KORR-im, with the weight at the front.

Say

KORR-im, with the b usually silent
