The spelling of the word "sann hemp" may seem strange to many English speakers, but it makes sense when broken down phonetically. In IPA transcription, the word is written as /sæn hɛmp/. The "sann" portion is pronounced with a short "a" sound, followed by a double "n" to indicate a slightly longer nasal sound. The "hemp" portion is straightforward, with a short "e" sound and a "p" at the end. So, while the spelling may look odd, it accurately reflects the phonetic sounds of the word.
