The spelling of the word "Gayll" may seem unusual, but it can be easily explained using IPA phonetic transcription. The first sound is a voiced velar fricative "ɣ", followed by a long vowel "eɪ". The double "ll" represents a geminate consonant /lː/, which means that the /l/ sound is prolonged. This combination of sounds creates the unique spelling of "Gayll". While it may look unfamiliar at first glance, understanding its phonetic components can help make sense of its spelling.
