* u: Pronounced like the "oo" in "moon," but shorter.

* bb: The double "b" indicates a longer "b" sound.

* i: Pronounced like the "i" in "machine."

* g: Pronounced like the "g" in "go."

The stress is on the first syllable (knub). The overall sound is quite soft. It's difficult to perfectly capture in writing, but hopefully this gives you a good approximation.
