Linear
Typically ого and его are pronounced with v sound instead of hard g, there is an actual rule which determines exactly when hard g becomes v but i dont remember
And no, russian pronounciation doesnt always match spelling. See: "Здравствуйте", literally the first russian word youll learn and the pronounciation doesnt match the spelling. The first "в" is silent
It used to work like that for Russian but "clunkier" pronounciations just got dropped eventually. Its just easier to say "здраствуйте" without the first в. And for "его" and "ого" the pronounciation naturally evolved over time but the spelling never did.
But in theory Russian is a phonetic language, where one letter makes one sound
phonology and stress
ск(о)рого: unstressed syllables in open syllables tend to fall
g>v africation: The palatal consonant between the two vowels be africation and approaches the vowel quality in terms of the obstacle to the air. This is about the law of least effort in language.
[o] = /a/: This is a historical phenomenon. It stems from the difference between the writing system and the spoken language. Written language is conventional, while spoken language is more free and changeable.
