The spelling of the word "Haabs magnet" can be explained using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) as hɔbs ˈmæɡnət. The first part, "Haabs," is spelled with a double "a" to indicate a long "a" sound. The second part, "magnet," is spelled with a silent "e" and a final "t" to indicate the correct ending pronunciation. The word refers to a type of magnetic material discovered by Danish physicist Harald Haab, and is pronounced HAWBS MAG-nit.
