The word "Pallma" is spelled with a double L and a single M. In IPA phonetic transcription, it is spelled /ˈpælmə/. The first syllable is pronounced with a short "a" sound, as in "cat." The double L indicates that the following "m" sound is separate, rather than combined with the "l" sound. The final syllable is pronounced with the schwa sound, which is a short, unstressed "uh" sound. This spelling and pronunciation may be unfamiliar to some people, as it is not a commonly used word.
