How Do You Spell LORONA?

Pronunciation: [lɔːɹˈə͡ʊnə] (IPA)

The spelling of the word "Lorona" is quite unique. It is pronounced as /lɔːrɒnə/, where the first syllable is stressed. The "L" in the beginning is pronounced as a velarized alveolar lateral approximant, which is a fancy way of saying that the tongue touches the roof of the mouth while pronouncing it. The rest of the letters are pronounced just as they appear. The phonetic transcription helps clarify the pronunciation of the word, which could be easily confused with other words.
