The spelling of the word "avala" uses the vowel "a" twice, but they do not have the same sound. The first "a" is pronounced as /ə/, like the "a" in "sofa", while the second "a" is pronounced as /ɑː/, like the "a" in "car". The letter "v" is pronounced as /v/, like in "very", and the letter "l" is pronounced as /l/, like in "love". So the correct IPA transcription for "avala" is /əˈvɑːlə/.
