The spelling of the word "emmert" can be explained through its IPA phonetic transcription: /ˈɛmərt/. The first two letters "em" represent a pronounced "em" sound, as in the word "emphasis." The following "m" corresponds to the /m/ phoneme. Afterward, the "er" sequence is pronounced as /ər/, resembling the sound in "mother." Finally, the final "t" in "emmert" corresponds to the /t/ phoneme, vocalized with a brief burst of air from the tongue.
