The spelling of the word "Heggs" may seem confusing at first glance, but it is actually quite simple when broken down using IPA phonetic transcription. The initial "H" is a voiceless glottal fricative, followed by a long "e" sound represented by the IPA symbol /eɪ/. The next two consonants are a voiced velar fricative /ɣ/ and a voiced alveolar stop /ɡ/, respectively. Finally, the word ends with the unvoiced alveolar fricative /s/. Altogether, "Heggs" is pronounced "heɪɡs".
