The spelling of "Eberdt" may seem a bit confusing to those unfamiliar with German pronunciation. In IPA phonetic transcription, it is pronounced as /ˈeːbərt/. The "e" in the first syllable is pronounced as a long vowel sound, while the "b" and "r" are pronounced with a slight emphasis on the "r." The final "t" is also pronounced with emphasis. While this particular spelling may not be common in English, it is a typical spelling in German.
