The word "vitti" is spelled as /ˈvɪti/, with two "t"s. The first vowel sound is a short "i" (/ɪ/), followed by double "t"s (/t/). This word, which may be unfamiliar to some, is a Latin verb meaning "to weave" or "to plait." While the spelling of "vitti" may seem unusual, it follows the rules of English spelling, which typically doubles consonants after a short vowel sound to indicate that the preceding vowel is also short.
