Eigg is a small Scottish island located in the Inner Hebrides. The word comprises four letters and is pronounced as [eɡ], where 'e' is pronounced like the 'e' in the word 'pet', 'ɡ' indicates the voiced velar stop, and the diacritic 'ˌ' before 'ɡ' specifies a secondary stress on the 'ɡ' sound. Though the spelling of Eigg may seem unusual, it conforms to the patterns of English and Scottish Gaelic orthography, and the phonetic transcription helps understand its pronunciation more accurately.
