The spelling of the word "eteo" is unique and may be confusing for those unfamiliar with its pronunciation. The word is actually phonetically spelled as /ɛˈti.oʊ/. This means the first syllable is pronounced as "eh" followed by a stressed "tee," and the final syllable is pronounced as "oh." When spoken aloud, it can be easy to mistake the "e" sound for an "a," making it important to pay close attention to the IPA phonetic transcription when talking or writing about this word.
