The spelling of the word "sharrock" can be confusing as it does not follow traditional English phonetic rules. It is pronounced as /ˈʃærək/, with the stress on the first syllable. The combination of the "sh" sound with the "ar" sound can create confusion as to whether the first letter should be an "s" or a "ch."
