How Do You Spell HUMMUMS?

Pronunciation: [hˈʌməmz] (IPA)

The word "hummus" is a popular Middle Eastern dip made from chickpeas, tahini, and various spices. However, some people may see the word spelled as "hummums". This spelling variation reflects the difficulty in transliterating Arabic words into English. In IPA phonetic transcription, "hummus" is pronounced as /ˈhʊməs/. The additional "m" in "hummums" likely comes from the Arabic pronunciation, where there is a glottal stop between the "u" and "m" sounds. Regardless of the spelling variation, the delicious taste of this savory dip remains the same.
