The spelling of the word "harville" can seem confusing to some, but it is actually quite logical when you break it down phonetically. In IPA transcription, it is spelled /hɑrvɪl/. The "h" is a straightforward letter, representing the sound "huh." The "a" is pronounced "ah," the "r" is the trilled "r" sound, and the "v" is pronounced "vuh." The final syllable, "ille," rhymes with "fill," and is pronounced as "ihl." Put it all together, and you have "harville."
