The spelling of the word "MEOR" might seem odd to some, but it reflects its unique pronunciation. In IPA phonetic transcription, "MEOR" would be written as [miːɔː], with the emphasis on the first syllable. This reflects the fact that the pronunciation starts with a long "ee" sound before moving onto an "aw" sound, followed by a prolonged "r". This particular combination of sounds is not common in English, hence the somewhat unconventional spelling of the word.
