To preserve consistency between pronunciation and spelling, some prefer to spell this word sunthesis. Nevertheless, synthesis is the more common spelling of the two. See pyramid/puramid, symbol/sumbol, system/sustem for similar examples. === Noun === sunthesis m (plural sunthesisau, not mutable) alternative spelling of synthesis ==== Related terms ==== suntheseiddio (“synthesise”) sunthetig (“synthetic”) === Further reading === R.
