The word "a-a" refers to a type of lava that has a rough, jagged texture. It is spelled using the IPA phonetic transcription as /ˈɑ.ɑ/. The "a" sound is pronounced as an open back unrounded vowel, while the dash between the two "a's" indicates a glottal stop, which is a brief pause or closure of the vocal cords.
