The word "HARBS" may seem unconventional in terms of spelling, but it can be broken down phonetically as /hɑrbs/. The first two letters "H-A" make the phoneme /hɑ/, which is a variant of the long "o" sound. The last three letters "R-B-S" represent the consonants /r/, /b/, and /s/. Although some may argue that the spelling is not standard, it is still pronounceable and its meaning can be understood within context.
