The spelling of "Rawnie" is somewhat unusual, but it can be explained through the use of the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). In this system, the word can be transcribed as /rɔːni/. The first sound is a rounded open-mid back vowel, similar to the vowel sound in "law". The second sound is an alveolar nasal, as in the word "on". The final sound is the front vowel sound in "bit". The spelling of "Rawnie" may have been influenced by regional dialects or creative naming conventions.
