How Do You Spell PETRY?

Pronunciation: [pˈɛtɹi] (IPA)

The spelling of the word "Petry" can be a bit confusing for those unfamiliar with the phonetic rules of English. It is pronounced as /ˈpetri/, with the stress on the first syllable. The letter "y" at the end of the word represents the sound /i/, which is commonly spelled as "ie" or "ee".
