The spelling of the word "Zalomon" is unique and may seem unfamiliar to some. In IPA phonetic transcription, it is pronounced as /zaˈlɒmən/. The "z" sound is followed by an "a" pronounced as in "cat" and then a stressed "o" sound like "oh." Next, there is an "l" sound and then an "o" pronounced as in "not." The final syllable is pronounced with a short "u" sound, like in "cup," also followed by an "n" sound. This uncommon spelling may be difficult for some to remember, but it gives the word a distinct character.
