The IPA phonetic transcription helps to understand how to correctly spell this word, with the "ch" sound representing the phoneme /k/, the "o" being pronounced as /əʊ/ and the letter "a" representing the sound /ə/. In context, "choater" can refer to an archaic word for a person who writes legal documents, often used in Scottish law.
