How Do You Spell BIS?

The word "bis" is spelled with three letters, but its pronunciation is trickier than one might think. The IPA phonetic transcription reveals that the "b" is pronounced as a voiced bilabial stop, followed by a short, unstressed "i" sound, and ending with an unvoiced alveolar fricative "s". The combination of these phonemes results in a quick, almost clipped utterance of the word, which has various meanings depending on the context. In music, "bis" is used to indicate a repeat of a specific section, while in French it means "twice".
