The spelling of the word "suriel" originates from Hebrew mythology, where it is the name of an angel. It is pronounced as /suːriɛl/ using the International Phonetic Alphabet. The initial "su" sound is followed by a long "oo" vowel sound and ends with a "ri-ɛl" sound. The "r" is pronounced with a trill, similar to the Spanish "rr." Despite its spelling, the word's pronunciation is not necessarily intuitive, highlighting the importance of using phonetic transcriptions when learning new words.
