Why are there 2 syllables in the word "naked"? Why is the second syllable pronounced "id" and is there only one pronunciation for this word?

You mean _syllables_! See [this related question](https://ell.stackexchange.com/questions/34587/why-are-baked-and-naked-not-pronounced-the-same?rq=1) – Kate Bunting Jan 12 '20 at 09:05
I quite like 'syllabuses'. I think I would like Marie-Anne. – Michael Harvey Jan 12 '20 at 10:00
