The spelling of the word "amade" may cause some confusion due to its irregularity. In IPA phonetic transcription, "amade" is spelled /əˈmɑːd/, with the accent mark indicating the stress on the second syllable. This word is pronounced with a short "a" sound in the first syllable, followed by a long "a" sound in the second syllable. While it may look like it should be spelled "amadee" with two "e's" at the end, the actual spelling has only one "e" in the final syllable.
