The spelling of the word "Fruma" can be explained using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). "Fruma" is spelled with a voiced bilabial fricative "f" sound followed by a short "u" sound, then an unvoiced dental fricative "th" sound, and finally an "a" sound pronounced as in "father". The IPA transcription for "Fruma" is /ˈfruːmə/. This Yiddish name is sometimes spelled as Frume or Frumeh, but the pronunciation remains the same.
The word "Fruma" is of Yiddish origin. It is derived from the Hebrew word "Frum" (פרום) which means "pious" or "observant" in English. In Yiddish, "Frum" typically refers to a person who is devoutly religious, following the laws and traditions of Orthodox Judaism. The female form of the word is "Fruma" and is often used as a given name for women in Yiddish-speaking communities.
