The spelling of the word "epler" can be somewhat confusing as it does not match the standard English spelling pattern. The IPA phonetic transcription of this word is /ˈɛplər/. The first sound, /ɛ/, corresponds to the vowel sound in "bed". The second sound, /p/, represents a plosive sound indicating that both lips are momentarily closed before releasing air. The final sound, /lər/, indicates a syllabic L, where the /l/ sound creates a syllable on its own.
