How Do You Spell IDUMAEA?
The word "Idumaea" is spelled with the phonetic transcription /ɪˈdjuːmiːə/. This word is derived from ancient Greek and refers to the historical region in the Middle East now known as Edom. The spelling of "Idumaea" can be confusing due to the use of the Greek letter delta (Δ) which is commonly transliterated in English as "d" even though it has a dental fricative sound. When pronouncing "Idumaea", it is important to make a clear "d" sound followed by a long "u" sound and a schwa.
