The spelling of the word "Acuqileena" can be explained using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). The first sound is a short "a" followed by "k," "yoo," and "kw" sounds. This is followed by a short "i" sound, another "l," and finally a long "e" sound, pronounced "een." The consonant cluster of "cq" is unusual and may be confusing for some, but it is pronounced as the affricate sound "ch" followed by a "k" sound. This particular spelling may reflect the phonetics of a particular language or dialect.
