can you add yogurt?
I say the ‘ur’ in ‘yogurt’ or ‘yoghurt’ as an unstressed vowel, but I didn’t put it on that page (www.spelfabet.com.au/spelling-lists/sorted-by-sound/unstressed-vowel/ur-as-in-murmur), because the spelling gh in it is arguably harder than the ‘ur’, and some people even spell it ‘yoghourt’. Sigh. I have it under ‘gh’ (www.spelfabet.com.au/spelling-lists/sorted-by-sound/g/gh-as-in-ghost) but haven’t tried to include it on vowel spelling lists.
