The spelling of the word "MBISC" may seem odd, but it makes sense using IPA phonetic transcription. The "M" represents a voiced bilabial nasal sound, "B" is a voiced bilabial plosive, "I" is a high front tense vowel, "S" is a voiceless alveolar sibilant fricative, and "C" is a voiceless palatal plosive. Together, they create a word pronounced as "əmˈbɪsʃ", meaning to deceive or mislead. While unconventional, understanding the IPA phonetic transcription helps break down complex word spellings.
