The spelling of the word 'arner' has caused confusion among English language learners due to its unusual pronunciation. The correct spelling reflects the correct IPA phonetic transcription, /ˈɑːnə/ (ar-nuh). This spelling shows that the 'ar' sound is elongated with the use of the /ː/ symbol while the 'er' sound is pronounced with a schwa, /ə/. This word is a relatively uncommon term that means "one who earns", and although it may be tricky to spell, a good understanding of IPA transcription can help learners to master its correct spelling.
