That's a bit difficult in writing!

AHLZ is in capitals to show that this syllable takes the stress.
You say it a bit louder than the rest of the word.

The AH is like "a" in "all". L and Z are as usual.

"high" is just there to tell you to pronounce that syllable like you say the word "high".

"merz" isn't a word, but it means that this syllable is said

But I wonder how could you know "The AH is like "a" in "all". L and Z are as usual."

Because AH is like "a" in "arch"???
