espouse

[Britney]

Espoose is a term used in the field of linguistics to describe a feature that is used in the pronunciation of words. It refers to a consonant sound that is made with the tongue held in a particular position, such as when producing the sound /spɔʁ/. For example, the word spoon is pronounced with an espoose sound, as the p and o are both made with the tongue held in a position between them. Other examples of words that use an espoose sound include sparks and spare.
