Remember, the sound always comes first, and it (the sound in a word) can change based on where you are (local, regional dialects). One sound can also change based on the following sounds in a word. Why? Often, because it’s just easier to say that way.
In any case, the letters don’t create the sound. The sound is independent of the letters, and the letters are chosen simply to represent the sound.
Thanks MR Chris . I can get part of the meaning , a few months later i will re-read it .
