The spelling of the word "fawley" can be confusing, as it does not follow the typical pronunciation rules in English. The IPA phonetic transcription for "fawley" is /ˈfɔːli/. The "aw" sound is pronounced as a long "o," but the "e" at the end of the word is silent. This makes the spelling of "fawley" unique and somewhat difficult to remember. However, once the pronunciation is understood, it becomes easier to spell correctly.
