The word "scurff" is not commonly used in English, but it is a valid spelling for "scurf," which refers to a flaky, scaly buildup on the skin or scalp. The IPA phonetic transcription of "scurff" is /skərf/, with the stress on the first syllable. The spelling of this word may be confusing because the "c" and "f" are both pronounced as voiceless fricatives, creating a similar sound. However, the double "f" at the end of the word indicates that the final consonant should be prolonged, producing a final "f" sound.
