Context: S1 is discussing things he likes to eat when he is in Indonesia.

S1 : ... and very cheap one made from local cassava, dry cassava (.) made from you call it garut local roots, namely tubers

Intended Words: tubers

Heard as: tabrus

Discussion: S2 did not understand this word, so she wrote down tabrus. In fact, we had to ask S1 to exlain what the word was, as he pronounces it [tʌbus]. Use of [ʌ] rather than [ju:] in the first syllable of tubers appears to be a spelling pronunciation by S1.
