How Do You Spell PALAE?

Pronunciation: [pˈaliː] (IPA)

The word "palae" is typically spelled with an "ae" diphthong, which represents a "long a" sound when pronounced. In IPA phonetic transcription, this sound is represented by the symbol /eɪ/. The use of the "ae" spelling is typically associated with British English, while American English tends to use the simplified spelling "pale." However, both spellings are acceptable and convey the same meaning - something that is light or washed out in color, or something that lacks intensity or significance.

Etymology of PALAE
