The spelling of the word "Strughold" may seem unusual to some, but it follows the rules of English phonetics. The correct pronunciation is /ˈʃtruːɡhoʊld/, with the emphasis on the first syllable. The "s" is spelled with an "s" rather than a "z" because it follows the sound of "sh", which is represented by the "str" combination. The "u" follows the long "o" sound, and the "h" is pronounced, contributing to the unique spelling of this name.
