The correct spelling of the name "Elmera" is a matter of debate. Some sources suggest the spelling "Elmira" is more common and easier to pronounce. However, if we break down the pronunciation of "Elmera" using IPA phonetic transcription, we get /ɛlmɛrə/. The first syllable "el" and the second "mer" are both easily recognizable in English, and the final syllable "a" is pronounced like the "a" in "about". So, the spelling of "Elmera" seems to reflect its pronunciation accurately.
