The spelling of the word "szell" might seem confusing, but it's actually quite simple once you understand the phonetics. In IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet), "sz" represents the sound /ʃ/, as in "shoe." The following "e" is pronounced as a short /ɛ/, such as in "get." Finally, the "ll" represents a double "L" sound, pronounced as /l/ twice in quick succession. Therefore, the correct phonetic transcription for "szell" is /ʃɛlː/.
