The spelling of the word "delaune" can be confusing due to its unconventional pronunciation. The IPA phonetic transcription of this word is /dəˈlɔːn/. The first syllable is pronounced with a schwa sound, followed by the "L" sound. The second syllable has a long "o" sound and ends with the "n" sound. This word is often misspelled as "Delano" or "Delaney," but its correct spelling is important for accurately referencing historical figures, such as the 17th century French architect Francois Delaune.
