How Do You Spell FULLARD?

Pronunciation: [fˈʊlɑːd] (IPA)

The spelling of "fullard", which means to thicken or stiffen cloth with a fulling mill, can be explained through its IPA phonetic transcription - /ˈfʊlərd/ - which includes the following sounds: "f" as in "find", "ʊ" as in "foot", "l" as in "look", "ə" as in "sofa", and "d" as in "dog". The doubled "l" in the spelling of "fullard" indicates a stress on the second syllable.
