The spelling of the word "male grannle" might seem confusing at first, but it can be understood with the help of IPA phonetic transcription. The word is pronounced as /meɪl ɡrænl̩/, where the symbol /eɪ/ represents the sound of "ay" as in "hay," and /l̩/ represents the syllabic consonant "l" sound heard in the word "bottle." The word is a combination of the words "male" and "granny," indicating an older man with certain characteristics more commonly associated with an elderly woman.
