The spelling of the word "Garica" may seem peculiar, but it can be explained through the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). The IPA considers "c" to be pronounced as /k/, not /s/, so the expected pronunciation of the word would be /ga-ri-ka/. The use of "c" instead of "k" can be attributed to regional or historical differences in the language or the chosen spelling. Despite its unconventional spelling, "Garica" can still be easily understood and pronounced with the help of the IPA.
