The spelling of the word "Allfreda" can be explained using IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) transcription. The first syllable is pronounced as /ɔl/, which has an "aw" sound similar to "ball" or "saw". The second syllable is pronounced as /freɪdə/, with the "ay" sound like in "day" and "e" as "uh". Therefore, the correct spelling of the word is "Alfreda" with "f" instead of "l" at the beginning. Alfreda is a feminine given name of English origin meaning "wise counselor".
