The spelling of "Jewett" can be a little confusing as it has a silent "w". The phonetic transcription for "Jewett" is /dʒuːɪt/, which means that the first sound is a soft 'j' and is followed by a long 'u' and an 'i'. The silent 'w' pops up in between the 'u' and 'i' but is not pronounced. The final sound is a hard 't', which completes the phonetic representation of "Jewett".
