9
the sound p as in "a
p
e"
the sound b
as in "
b
ee"
These are similar sounds. The sound b is voiced (you use both your voice box and your mouth to say b),
whereas the p sound is unvoiced (you do not use your voice box.)
To remember that these sounds make 9 you might think of the number 9 as resembling a backward
p or
an upside down
b
.
Double-p and double-b, as in ha
pp
y and ho
bb
y, count as a single 9.
(The pseudonumeral P is actually pronounced "ip", and written P or iP.)
