The word "Abessi" may seem confusing at first, but is actually quite simple when broken down phonetically using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). The word is pronounced [æˈbɛsi], with the first syllable being pronounced like "ab" and the second syllable pronounced like "ess-ee". The "e" at the end of the word is not silent, as it is commonly thought, but rather pronounced like "ee". With this IPA transcription in mind, spelling "Abessi" correctly should now be a breeze.
