The spelling of the name "Josephyne" can cause confusion due to the silent "e" at the end. In IPA phonetic transcription, the word is spelled /dʒoʊsəfaɪn/, with the vowel sound "o" making the "jose" sound, and "y" representing the "i" sound in the middle of the name. The silent "e" at the end is not pronounced but indicates that the preceding vowel should be pronounced as a long sound, which is why the final vowel is represented by "ai" in the transcription.
