The word "Licea" is a plural form of "Licium", which means a "place of lice". Its spelling can be confusing as the first letter is pronounced as "l", but is actually written as "li". This is because the "i" is not pronounced, making it a silent letter. The next letter, "c", is pronounced as "s" as in "snake", while the final letters "e" and "a" are pronounced as "uh" and "a" respectively. Therefore, the correct phonetic transcription for "Licea" is /li:si:ə/.
