The spelling of the word "Mobles" may appear incorrect to some, but it is actually an acceptable spelling variation of "Möbel," the German word for furniture. The umlaut (¨) above the letter "o" signals a shift in pronunciation, making it sound more like "oo" in English. Therefore, the phonetic transcription for "Möbel" is /ˈmøːbl̩/. Mobility, mobbish, and mobocracy are some other words that contain the word root "mob."
