The word "folin-ciocalteu" refers to the scientific phenol reagent named after the two scientists, Folin and Ciocalteu. These names are of Swedish and Romanian origin. The combination is pronounced similar to "Faux-lean-cho-cal-the-oh."
The English language is complex with many irregularities and inconsistencies, especially in terms of spelling and pronunciation. In this case, "toe" and "toes" are pronounced differently due to the addition of the 's' sound. The pronunciation of "toes" as "toews" could be attributed to regional dialects or variations in pronunciation.
