The spelling of the word "pudl" may seem rather unusual and confusing to the untrained eye, but it actually represents a phonetic transcription of a common word in many Slavic languages - "pudelj". The phonetic transcription in IPA notation would read as /ˈpuːdəl/, with the stress on the first syllable. It is a word often used to describe a type of curly-haired dog, known as a Poodle in English. While its spelling may be unusual to some, the pronunciation remains consistent across multiple languages.
