The spelling of the word "MNaught" may seem unconventional to some, but it follows the rules of the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). The "M" represents the bilabial nasal consonant /m/, while the "N" represents the alveolar nasal consonant /n/. The combination "MN" indicates a sequence of these two nasal consonants pronounced simultaneously. Finally, the "aught" represents the vowel sound /ɔt/, which is a combination of the open-mid back rounded vowel /ɔ/ and the voiceless alveolar plosive /t/. Therefore, "MNaught" is pronounced as /əmˈnɔt/.
