The spelling of the word "Remus" is derived from the Latin word 'Remus', which has a pronunciation of /ˈreːmʊs/ in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). The first syllable 're' has the sound /ɹeɪ/, and the second syllable 'mus' has the sound /mʌs/. The 'u' in 'mus' is pronounced as the schwa sound /ə/, which is a neutral vowel sound. In ancient Roman mythology, Remus was the brother of Romulus, and together, they founded the city of Rome.
