I was also very surprised that this word has only two syllables; I'd been sure it was STY-uh-lite. Like style is sty-uhl. Now don't you-all tell me there's anybody out there who can pronounce style in one syllable only!

I can't imagine why you have to make this little in between step. Sty-uh-lite? (we've done this before) Like twilight.

Homonym for style, in my mangled usage. tempus edax rerum Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: stylite definitions Maven #175976 04/17/08 11:01 PM Joined: Dec 2000 Posts: 13,803 Faldage Carpal Tunnel Faldage Carpal Tunnel Joined: Dec 2000 Posts: 13,803 I'd count style as one and a half syllables. Tack the -ite on the end and the L has something to grab a hold of so it's only two syllables.

I come from the state where people have been known to say pee-ON-sull. Edit: Like twilight. Yeah, I can say that in two syllables, but not stylite, probably because there's no such word as twile. Style and stile both have two syllables!
