the sound f
as in "hoo
f
"
the sound v as in "i
v
y"
the sound ph as in "
ph
ooey"
the gh sound as in "enou
gh
"
the sound lf as in "ha
lf
"
These are similar sounds. The sound v is voiced (you use both your voice box and your mouth to say v),
whereas the f sound is unvoiced (you do not use your voice box.)
To remember that these sounds make 8 you might think of the script
f
with two closed loops, resembling the number 8.
Double-f as in o
ff
, counts as a single 8.
(The pseudonumeral F is actually pronounced "if", and written F or iF.)
