The word I'm trying to make into a pronunciation key is Braceyism. Yes it is random but that's the point. You know how at the beginning of dictionary they have that funny looking place where they have the pronunciation of the word? Where some letters are upside down and have lines over them? That's what I'm attempting to do with this word. Please help! I'd like an accurate one! Thanks.

    Find words with equivalent sounds, copy the parts you want, and build the whole word.

    I used -

    brace

    lacey
