The spelling of the word "hauge" can be a bit confusing, but it is actually quite simple once you understand the phonetics involved. In IPA phonetic transcription, "hauge" would be spelled as /haʊɡ/. This means that the "h" sound is followed by a diphthong of "au", which is pronounced like "ow". The final sound is a hard "g". So, when spelling "hauge", remember to use the "au" diphthong and the hard "g" at the end.
