The spelling of the word "dovid" can be a bit confusing, especially for non-native English speakers. The correct pronunciation of "dovid" is /ˈdoʊvɪd/, with the stress on the first syllable. This word is spelled as "d-o-v-i-d" with a "v" in the middle, although many people often misspell it with a "w". It is actually a Yiddish name, which means "beloved" or "friend". If you are writing in English, remember to use "dovid" instead of "dawid" to spell this unique name.
