The word "kuamoo" is a Hawaiian word that is spelled using the IPA phonetic transcription as /kua.moʊ/. This word is comprised of two syllables, with the stress placed on the first syllable. The "k" sound is pronounced with the back of the tongue touching the soft palate, followed by a diphthong "ua" sound that is pronounced by moving the lips from a rounded position to a wider position. Lastly, the "m" sound is made by closing the lips and allowing the air to escape through the nose.
