The word "Curtlax" may seem like a strange combination of letters, but its pronunciation is actually quite straightforward. In IPA phonetic transcription, it is spelled /ˈkərtlæks/. The first syllable begins with a schwa sound, represented by the symbol /ə/. The second syllable features a short "a" sound represented by /æ/, followed by a voiceless velar plosive (/k/), and a voiceless alveolar plosive (/t/). The final syllable ends with a voiceless alveolar fricative (/s/). So, despite its unusual spelling, "Curtlax" can be easily pronounced using the IPA symbols!
