The word "judgship", which is not commonly used in modern English, is spelled with a "g" instead of a "d" in the middle. This is because the root word, "judge", is spelled with a soft "g" sound, represented by the phonetic symbol /dʒ/. Therefore, when adding the suffix "-ship" to create a noun meaning the position or qualities of a judge, the spelling follows the pronunciation of the root word. The correct IPA transcription for "judgship" is /ˈdʒʌdʒʃɪp/.
