How Do You Spell HOLLOWED?

Pronunciation: [hˈɒlə͡ʊd] (IPA)

The word "hollowed" is spelled with a double "l" and an "ed" at the end, despite the fact that the root word "hollow" is only spelled with one "l." This is because the "l" is doubled after a vowel in English when adding suffixes like "-ed". The IPA phonetic transcription for "hollowed" is /ˈhɒləd/, with the stress on the first syllable and the final consonant sound pronounced as a "d" due to the voiced "ed" ending followed by a vowel.
