The spelling of the word "GEVSSE" may seem unusual, but it can be explained using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). The word can be pronounced as /ˈɡɛvz/ with the "G" pronounced as a hard "G" sound similar to "go" and the "V" as a voiced "V" sound. The double "S" can be pronounced with a hissing sound, similar to the "S" in "snake." The final "E" can be pronounced as a short "E" sound, resulting in the overall pronunciation of "gevz."
