How Do You Spell CAPASSO?

Pronunciation: [kapˈasə͡ʊ] (IPA)

The word "capasso" is spelled with the phonetic transcription /kəˈpæsoʊ/. The initial sound is the unvoiced velar fricative /k/, followed by the unstressed schwa sound /ə/. The "p" sound is then pronounced, followed by the stressed "a" sound /æ/. The final syllable is pronounced with the unvoiced "s" sound /s/, and the diphthong /oʊ/ which ends with the "o" sound /o/. This unique spelling can be attributed to the Italian origin of the word.
