Pronunciation[fontem recensere]

Ian Hogbin, an Australian anthropologist, left the g in his name silent, making the first syllable a rhyme with cob or even a homonym of hoe (reports differ). How about Lancelot Hogben? IacobusAmor (disputatio) 12:40, 31 Ianuarii 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This proves nothing about Lancelot H.'s pronunciation, but: Daniel Jones's English pronouncing dictionary (13th ed. Dent, 1967) gives the pronunciation of this surname as \ˈhɔɡbɘn\.
It also gives /ˈdɔːlbi/. I've always gone for /ˈdɔlbi/, as did my father :) Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 13:37, 31 Ianuarii 2024 (UTC)[reply]
