How Do You Spell BOLLMAN?

Pronunciation: [bˈɒlmən] (IPA)

The word "bollman" is spelled with two L's: /ˈbɑl.mən/. Despite the fact that there is only one "L" sound in the word, it requires both letters to be written correctly. This spelling indicates that the "O" sound is pronounced with a "short O," as in "hot" or "lot," rather than a "long O," as in "boat" or "toe." The letters "N" at the end are written to show the pronunciation of the word's final sound as an "N."
