The spelling of the word "rascoe" can be explained through IPA phonetic transcription. The word is pronounced as "ræskoʊ". The first sound, "r", is a voiced alveolar approximant, followed by the short vowel "æ" which is pronounced in the front of the mouth. The next sound, "s", is an unvoiced alveolar fricative, followed by a diphthong "koʊ", where "k" is an unvoiced velar plosive and "oʊ" is a diphthong that has a long "o" sound and ends with a schwa sound.
