The spelling of "wast huff" might seem confusing at first glance, but it actually follows a consistent convention in English language. "Wast" is an archaic form of "was" and "huff" means a sudden burst of anger. The correct pronunciation of "wast" is /wɑːst/ and "huff" is /hʌf/. So, when you say "wast huff" out loud, it rhymes with "fast puff". This type of spelling and pronunciation is commonly found in poetry and old literature.
