The spelling of the word "tihr" may seem nonsensical, but it actually makes sense when you consider its pronunciation. In IPA phonetic transcription, "tihr" is spelled /tɪːr/, which represents a long "ee" vowel sound followed by an "r." This spelling captures the sound of a word that rhymes with "beer" and has an emphasis on the "t" sound. So while the spelling may be unusual, it accurately reflects the pronunciation of the word.
