The spelling of the word "buckmaster" can be a bit confusing because it includes sounds that are not typically spelled the same way they are pronounced in English. In IPA phonetic transcription, the word is spelled /bʌkˈmæstər/, with the "u" sound in "buck" pronounced as a short "uh" sound and the "a" sound in "master" pronounced as a short "æ" sound. The combination of the "k" and "m" sounds in the middle of the word can also be tricky to spell correctly.
