If you could provide more context about where you encountered this word, I might be able to offer a better explanation.
For example:
* Did you see it in a book or article? If so, what was the topic?
* Was it spoken aloud? Did the speaker have an accent or dialect?
* Did they use it in a specific way? What was the sentence like?
With more information, I can help you figure out what the intended word might have been.
