The word "morii" is spelled with two i's at the end, despite being pronounced with a single long vowel sound. This can be explained through the use of IPA phonetic transcription, which shows that the word is pronounced /mɔːriː/. The first vowel sound is "ɔ" (as in "law"), while the second vowel sound is a long "i" sound. Using the doubling of the "i" helps to distinguish the pronunciation from words with a single "i" sound at the end, such as "moray".
