The word "JARVLA" is a peculiar one, given its ambiguous pronunciation. In IPA phonetic transcription, it is written as /ˈdʒɑːvlɑː/. The first syllable begins with a voiced palato-alveolar affricate, similar to the "j" sound in "jump." The vowel sound in the second syllable is a long "a," as in "father." The final syllable features a trilled "r" and a long vowel pronounced like the "a" in "father." While the spelling may be confusing, the phonetic transcription helps clarify the pronunciation.
