The spelling of the word "Sittine" is a unique one which can be explained using IPA phonetic transcription. IPA transcription suggests that the first syllable is pronounced as /sɪt/ with a short "i" sound, followed by the second syllable pronounced as /iːn/ with a long "ee" sound. The spelling of this word can be easy to misunderstand due to the silent letter "e" at the end. Double "t" in "Sittine" hints towards the voiceless stop sound, which is followed by the diphthong "ine" indicating that it's a noun ending.
