How Do You Spell PHOCAL?
Pronunciation: [fˈə͡ʊkə͡l] (IPA) 
The word "Phocal" may seem like an unusual way to spell the animal known as a seal. The spelling is derived from the Greek word "phōkē" which means "seal". The IPA phonetic transcription of "Phocal" is /ˈfoʊkəl/, with the stress on the first syllable. The "ph" in "Phocal" is pronounced as an "f" sound, and the second syllable is pronounced with a short "o" sound, like "ock-ul". Though this spelling may seem unusual, it accurately reflects the word's etymology and pronunciation.
