This British pronunciation of hover https://dictionary.cambridge.org/pronunciation/english/hover https://dictionary.cambridge.org/pronunciation/english/hover does not sound at all like the vowel in 'lot' or 'song'.
- lucian1900 5y agoLook up lot and song on the same website, it’s the same vowel. Then compare with lover, an entirely different vowel is pronounced.

- jacobolus 5y agoI did look up lot and song at the same website. The audio examples of British pronunciations provided for those two words use an entirely different vowel sound.
- leoedin 5y agoI'm British, and sitting at my desk saying "hover" "lot" "song" over and over again. They're definitely very close. I say hover like hoh-ver, which is very similar to the vowel I say in lot (loh-t) and song (soh-ng).
- spacedcowboy 5y agoYes. It does. Source: have been British for 54 years Hover is “hovver” Lover is “luvver”
