The spelling of the word "CAECL" is unusual and may seem confusing at first glance. However, the word is pronounced as "k-ek-uhl" and the spelling follows the rules of English phonetics. The first letter "C" represents the "k" sound, followed by the vowel diphthong "ae" which is pronounced as "eh", and then the "k" sound again represented by the letter "c". The final letter "l" represents the "l" sound at the end of the word.
