The word "Poulos" is spelled as pʊlɒs in IPA phonetic transcription. The "p" sound is produced by releasing a burst of air from the vocal cords, followed by the "ʊ" sound that is pronounced by rounding the lips and producing a short, lax vowel sound. The "l" sound is articulated by placing the tip of the tongue behind the upper teeth, while the stress is on the second syllable - "lɒs". Lastly, the "ɒ" sound is produced by opening the mouth slightly and producing a low vowel sound.
The name "Poulos" is of Greek origin and is derived from the Greek word "poulos" (πούλος), which means "servant" or "slave". It is often used as a family name and is found mainly in Greece and among Greek diaspora communities around the world.
