The spelling of the word "gaber" may seem straightforward, but its phonetic transcription in IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) reveals its true pronunciation. The word "gaber" is pronounced as /ˈɡeɪbər/, with the stress on the first syllable. The "g" is hard, sounding like the "g" in "go", while the second syllable has a schwa sound with the vowel sound similar to the "u" in "but". This is an example of the importance of using IPA phonetic transcription to accurately understand and learn pronunciation.
