"Deramus" is a term that has no commonly understood meaning. Phonetically, it can be spelled as /dəˈreɪməs/. This means that the first syllable is pronounced with a schwa vowel sound followed by the stressed "ay" sound. The second syllable is pronounced with the short "i" sound followed by the unstressed "uh" sound, and the final syllable is pronounced with the short "u" sound followed by the unstressed "uh" sound again. Despite the sound being described with IPA, the spelling of the word "deramus" remains inconsistent and undefined.
