Though, through, plough, cough, hough, or tough?
Hiccough has the sound of “cup.”

misplaced? one of the other threads was on somthing similar.

homonyms.

don’t think i’ve ever seen hiccup spelt as hiccough, though apparently correct.

Yes, this topic is contained in a thread elsewhere: words that end in ough.  I contributed to it.  Hiccough is common here when spelled out, like in newspaper.

I posted it here since it sounds like. he he he!
Anyway, hiccough is spelled with -cough, but the pronunciation is [-cup]
Cool!

We never went anywhere with this thread.  Saparris Chuchundra and his misplaced homonyms deserve more treatment.
