The word "tabae" may seem like a misspelling at first glance, but it actually follows the rules of IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet). In IPA, "tabae" would be transcribed as /tæ.be/. The "t" and "b" sounds are pronounced separately, and the "a" sound is a short vowel. The "e" at the end is pronounced as a separate syllable, which is why it is not spelled with just an accent mark. Overall, the IPA transcription shows that "tabae" is a valid spelling of a word with a clear pronunciation.
