How to pronounce apeirogon (CORRECTLY!)

Welcome! Wondering about the pronunciation of apeirogon?

My name is Franz Lang, a German-Hongkongese independent linguist, language enthusiast, serial traveller and movie buff. I am now fully quadrilingual, speaking French, German, Cantonese and English fluently. Over the years, I've also developed a convincing understanding of Portuguese, Arabic, Yiddish, Russian, and many other languages. The goal of my channel is simple: to help you say any word with absolute confidence.
So what about apeirogon? Colum McCann's novel of the same name was our departmental book club pick a while back. The discussion inevitably turned to the word itself—this magnificent, rolling term for the infinite. Saying it aloud feels like performing a concept: it begins open, travels through a diphthong, and ends with a solid, geometric finish. It's a word that tastes of the theoretical, yet the novel beautifully ties it to the very tangible, fractured nature of human stories.

📖 Meaning and Context:
An apeirogon is a polygon with a countably infinite number of sides. In geometry, it represents the limit of a sequence of polygons with more and more sides. The term also gained literary fame as the title of Colum McCann’s 2020 novel, which uses the shape as a metaphor for the infinite complexities of the human experience.
