The spelling of the word "ALBAYY" may appear unusual at first glance but can be explained using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). The first two letters "AL" represent the /æl/ sound, similar to "al" in the word "aluminum". The next three letters "BAY" denote the /beɪ/ sound, pronounced like "bay" in "bay leaf". Finally, the last letter "Y" corresponds to the /i/ sound, like "ee" in "see". Thus, the spelling "ALBAYY" is pronounced /æl.beɪ.i/.
