The spelling of the word "Emmery" is quite unique and may require some explanation. In IPA phonetic transcription, it is pronounced as /ˈɛməri/. The first syllable "Em" is pronounced like the letter M, followed by the short vowel sound "eh" and the letter R. The second syllable "mery" is pronounced with a long E sound, followed by the letter M, the schwa sound "uh", and the letter R. This spelling may be confusing to some, considering the common spelling of the similar word "Emery" with only one M.
