The spelling of the word "Audey" can be explained using IPA phonetic transcription. It is pronounced as [ɑːdi], with the first two letters being pronounced as "aw" sound in "law". The letter "e" at the end is silent, but it changes the pronunciation of the "d" to a voiced sound, similar to the sound in the word "sedate". While the spelling of the word may appear unusual, it follows the rules of English phonetics and pronunciation.
