"A handover" or "An handover"

Hi Luis,
I have the following question doubt. Should I write "perform a handover" or ""perform an handover?

Clive

Peace be upon you

The answer is

a handover

There is a rule in English that is all words begining with h are preceded by a because h here is pronouned , but there are exceptions were h is not pronounced so the word starts with a vowel and therefore preceded by an .Those exceptions are: hour, honour, heir, honest

So we say: an hour , an honour, an hair , an hon

Not exactly.

A hair, because we pronounce the H. However "an heir" because it's pronounced "air"

A heist also has the H pronounced.

In the US, we say "an herb" because it's "erb" but I believe in the UK, it's "herb" so it would be a "a herb."

And there is tremendous debate over "an historical" or "a historical" without agreement.

You'll find little ex

Thank you all for the clarifications!
Luis

In the audio example the h seems to be silent
