The spelling of the phrase "more pent" may seem confusing, but it can be explained using IPA phonetic transcription. The word "pent" is pronounced with a short "e" sound, like "pet", and a silent "n". When "more" is added to the beginning of the word, the "e" in "more" changes to a schwa sound, like the "u" in "up". This results in the spelling "more pent" but the pronunciation "muh-pent". So, while the spelling may be unusual, the pronunciation follows normal English phonetic patterns.
