How Do You Spell BOEHMAN?

Pronunciation: [bˈə͡ʊhmən] (IPA)

The spelling of the surname "Boehman" can be a bit confusing at first glance. In IPA phonetic transcription, the word would be transcribed as /ˈboʊmən/. This means that the first syllable is pronounced like "bow" (as in "bow and arrow") followed by the short "uh" sound and ending with "man". This is just one example of the many intricacies that can come with spelling and pronunciation in the English language.
