The spelling of the word "Menuse" may seem confusing, but it can be explained through phonetic transcription. The IPA symbol /ju/ represents the sound "yoo," as in "menu." Meanwhile, the symbol /z/ stands for the voiced "z" sound at the end of the word. Therefore, "Menuse" is spelled with a "u" instead of an "e" to represent the "yoo" sound in the middle of the word, and with a final "s" instead of a "z" to indicate the unvoiced quality of this sound.
