The word "Jamay" is spelled as [dʒəˈmeɪ], with two syllables and the stress on the second one. The phonetic transcription shows that the first vowel sound is a reduced schwa, followed by the voiced consonant cluster [dʒ], which combines the sounds of "d" and "zh". The second syllable starts with the long vowel [eɪ], pronounced as "ay". The spelling of "Jamay" may, therefore, seem unusual, but it accurately represents the sounds pronounced in the word.
