The spelling of the word "SELDIMS" can be a bit confusing, as it does not follow the typical patterns in English. In IPA phonetic transcription, it would appear as: /ˈsɛlˌdɪmz/. The initial "s" is pronounced with an "eh" sound, while the "e" in the second syllable is pronounced with a short "i" sound. The final "s" is pronounced with a "z" sound, indicating that the word is plural. Despite its unusual spelling, "SELDIMS" is a valid English word meaning "rarely" or "seldom."
