The word "jofa" is spelled with four simple phonemes: /dʒ/ - /ɒ/ - /f/ - /ə/. The first phoneme represents the voiced postalveolar affricate "dʒ", which is produced by blocking the airflow with the tongue at the alveolar ridge and then releasing it with pressure to produce a fricative. The second phoneme "ɒ" is an open back rounded vowel similar to the "o" in "hot". The third phoneme "f" is a voiceless labiodental fricative produced by pressing the bottom lip against the upper teeth. The last phoneme "ə" is a mid-central vowel pronounced as a short, unstressed "uh" sound.
