How Do You Spell KPODO?
Pronunciation: [kˈe͡ɪpˈə͡ʊdə͡ʊ] (IPA) 
The spelling of the word "Kpodo" may seem unusual, but it has a logical explanation when viewed through the lens of phonetics. The "K" represents the voiceless velar plosive sound /k/, while the "p" represents the voiceless bilabial plosive sound /p/. The "o" is pronounced as the open-mid back rounded vowel /ɔ/ and the "d" as the voiced dental plosive sound /d/. All together, the word is pronounced /kpoʊdoʊ/. While it may be challenging to spell and pronounce for those unfamiliar with West African dialects, it is a perfectly valid spelling.
