The spelling of the word "Gryselde" may seem confusing at first glance, but it can be explained through its phonetic transcription: /ɡriːzld/. The first two letters, 'gr', represent the consonant cluster /ɡr/. The 'y' following the 'g' serves as a vowel sound, pronounced as /iː/. The 's' and 'e' following the 'y' and 'g' respectively are pronounced as /z/ and /ɛ/. Finally, the 'l' and 'd' at the end represent the consonants /l/ and /d/.
