How Do You Spell BOUFFARD?
Pronunciation: [bˈuːfəd] (IPA) 
The word "bouffard" is spelled with two F's instead of a single F, as it might first appear. This is because the first F is followed by a vowel sound, which requires a double consonant in French spelling. The IPA phonetic transcription of "bouffard" is /bufaʁ/, which shows the pronunciation of the word with a distinct separation between the first and second syllables. The double F serves to indicate the sharp break between the two vowel sounds in the word.
