The spelling of the word "haory edge" may seem confusing at first, but it can be easily understood using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) transcription. The correct spelling of the word is actually "hairy edge", with the /h/ sound at the beginning, followed by the diphthong /eə/ as in "hair", and a final /i/ sound to complete the word. Although misspelling can occur due to similar sounding words, paying attention to pronunciation and understanding IPA transcription can assist in using proper spelling.
