The correct pronunciation of wh is important.  In reality the h is sounded before the w, and in the oldest English it was so written.  This table combines the features of the two previous tables.

wit     chip    flock  crank    theft
whit    shut    trick  shock    sling
whet    shed    shelf  trunk    trust
whig    shop    swift  plank    sting
whip    shad    frock  swing    fresh
whiff   chub    strap  smith    twist
when    shun    prick  string   track
whist   trash   brick  smack    crash
whim    chest   crust  stump    stock
which   script  scrub  splash   scrap
whisk   spend   shred  struck   block
ship    cramp   grunt  scamp    frank

chat    twitch  stack  thump    pluck
sprang  spring  drink  thrush   shrub
sham    switch  check  stretch  brush

The following words illustrate the effect of final e in lengthening the vowel otherwise short.  Final se usually has the sound of ze.

Before r the sounds of the vowels a, e, i, and u are greatly modified.  These combinations occur so frequently that much drill is required.  Final e affects ar as in care.
