FABMAS is not a real word, but if we were to use IPA phonetic transcription to spell it, it would look like this: [fæbmæs]. This means that the word is two syllables and is pronounced with a short "a" sound in both syllables, followed by a "b" and an "m" sound. The final "s" would be pronounced as an "s" sound. While this spelling may not actually represent a real word, it does show how IPA can be helpful in decoding pronunciation.
