The word "illam" is a bit tricky when it comes to spelling. It is pronounced as /ˈɪlʌm/ , with the stress on the first syllable. The double "ll" in the word suggests that it is derived from a language with a strong emphasis on gemination. "Illam" is not a commonly used word and is often associated with South Indian languages like Tamil and Malayalam, where it means "house" or "home". The uniqueness of the spelling adds to the charm and intrigue of the word.
