Fughol is pronounced 'fukhol' with the 'kh' being like the 'ch' in Scottish 'loch' or German 'ach'. In 'Snaekk and Skryf Amerysk' it said that 'g' in the middle or end of a word is pronounced with that sound. We now spell that with 'gh' to indicate the sound difference. If you have difficulty with the sound, it is permissible to substitute a 'k' sound. Fughol comes from the Anglo-Saxon word fugol.
