Hong Kong Phooey Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 (edited) Not sure hiccough - up should be in that list, Neeranam. The sound "up" at the end tends to be a regional trait to native English speakers and I've never come across the sound being taught like that. From memory, your list is missing /u:/ (e.g. through) and / Ɔ:/ (e.g. brought, bought, thought, ought).
