    Just looking at the word I would definetly read ir as fugu.

    Looking at the Wikipedia article, it says it’s pronounced fjug. Like what happened to the u and e.

      It’s usually an etymological thing.

      I know fugue in french is said similarly and I wouldn’t be surprised if fugue is a french loanword.
