The spelling of "AGETE" may seem unusual, but it is still commonly used in the Canary Islands. In IPA phonetic transcription, it is pronounced as /aˈɣete/, with stress on the second syllable. The "g" sound in the middle is pronounced as a velar fricative, similar to the "ch" sound in Scottish "loch". This word refers to a village located in the interior of the island of Gran Canaria, and it derives from the Guanche language, the indigenous language of the Canary Islands.
