The word "barkdoll" is spelled with a silent "r," which can make it confusing to pronounce. In IPA phonetic transcription, it would be spelled /bɑːkdoʊl/, with the first "a" pronounced as in "car" and the second "a" pronounced as in "father." The "o" in the second syllable is pronounced like the "o" in "toe." The double "l" at the end of the word indicates a lengthened pronunciation of the "l" sound, making it distinct from the single "l" in "doll."
