The spelling of "Samons" may seem unusual to some, but it can be easily explained through phonetics. In IPA transcription, the word would be represented as /sæmənz/. The "a" sound is pronounced like the "a" in "cat," followed by the "m" sound which is made by pressing the lips together. The "o" sound is short and pronounced like the "o" in "hot." Finally, the "ns" sounds are pronounced as one syllable with the "n" sound blending into the "s" sound.
