I'm sure you know how the word 'ghoti' can be interpreted to be pronounced 'fish', by taking the sounds from the words 'cough,' 'women' and 'action.'
But can you find a word in which the letters 'wo' are pronounced as a standard 'u' (as in 'hut')?
The word isn't used much nowadays, but fifty years ago it was in common English circulation.
o
inword
is pronouncedu
as inhut
, but thewo

. He's asking for a word wherewo

sound completely $\endgroup$
