if you indulge my beginner knowledge how are theses words this
pronounced.
GutPiuda _ a 'hard' gut
gott hoi - a ' hard' Gott
Goth - a soft -th
Are we in essence saying that Goth, gott, and gut are the same.
Incidently 'Gut' - means a group, to emphasize ,a 'close group' in
Hindi, Punjabi.
In english there is often a tendencey to spell words one way and
pronounce them in another way.
In sanskrit, hindi etc the phoenetics and the spelling are close.
Clarification would ne most welcome.
