There are words with the UI vowel pair that sound like a short I,
such as build, guilt, and quiz, and the word minute has the I sound from U.

Conversely, there is an "ur" sound to I words such as first, girth, and hirsute.

There are many other words that have both a U and a short I, such as
discuss, unit, and humidity.
