The spelling of the word "gigg" might seem a little odd, but it makes sense when you look at its phonetic transcription: /ɡɪɡ/. The double "g" represents a voiced velar stop, which is the sound we make when we say the "g" in "go" or "big." The "i" in "gigg" is pronounced with a short vowel sound, as in "pig" or "lid." So while it may look unusual, the spelling of "gigg" accurately reflects its phonetic sound.
