The word "bapat" seems simple enough to spell, but there are a few tricky parts to consider. The first syllable is pronounced with the vowel sound "ah" as in "father" [ˈbɑ:]. The second syllable may be pronounced with a short "a" sound as in "cat" [pæt], or with a longer "a" sound as in "father" [peɪt]. The final "t" is pronounced with a clear "t" sound [t]. So, the IPA phonetic transcription for "bapat" would be [ˈbɑ:pæt] or [ˈbɑ:peɪt].
