The spelling of the word "Alveraz" can appear confusing at first, but it's actually quite simple once you understand its phonetic transcription. The correct spelling, in IPA, is /ælˈvɛrəz/. The initial "A" sound is pronounced as in "cat", followed by a stress on the second syllable. The "v" is pronounced as a voiced labiodental fricative, and the final "z" is pronounced as an unvoiced alveolar fricative. The spelling may appear differently in other languages, but this is the standard English pronunciation.
