The spelling of the word "kreiger" can be confusing due to its German origin. In IPA phonetic transcription, it is spelled /ˈkʀaɪɡər/. The first sound is a velar fricative "k" followed by a "r" sound. The "ei" is pronounced as a long "i" sound in English, and is followed by a voiced velar fricative "g". Finally, the word ends with an "er" sound, pronounced as a schwa. Remembering the phonetic transcription can help with accurate spelling of this word.
