Pronunciation & Spelling
Hubert is pronounced /ˈhjuːbə(r)t/. The 'hu' spelling in huge, human, hue, and humor matches the initial sound /hjuː/, but none of these rhymes with Hubert. Words ending in 'bert', such as Robert /ˈrɒbət/ and Herbert /ˈhɜːbət/, share the final spelling -bert but have a different stressed vowel, so they do not rhyme either.
