The correct spelling of the phrase "wast issued" is actually "was issued." The use of "wast" is an archaic form of the second person singular past tense of "be" and is no longer commonly used. The correct pronunciation of "was issued" is /wʌz ˈɪʃuːd/ with a short vowel sound in "was" and the stress on the second syllable of "issued." Proper spelling and pronunciation are important for clear communication and understanding.
