The spelling of the word "dorta" could cause confusion due to its unusual appearance. However, its pronunciation can be explained using IPA phonetic transcription. The /dɔr.tə/ pronunciation represents the "dor" as a short vowel "o" sound, followed by an "r" and "t" consonant, and then the "a" as a schwa sound. This transcription helps to emphasize the correct sound of each letter and provides clarity in terms of the unusual spelling of the word.
