The word "Garrat" is spelled with two R's, but the pronunciation might throw some people off. In IPA phonetic transcription, it is spelled /ɡəˈræt/. The first syllable is pronounced "guh" as in "gut," followed by a schwa sound, "uh." The second syllable sounds like "rat," but with the emphasis on the "a" sound. It's important to remember the double R in the spelling, or it could be easily confused with "Garret," a completely different word.
