Truhe: like the English true, just with a German r, and then a
regular e at the end, like Zehe has.

The -e at the end of the words aren't "regular e" like [e:], but [ǝ], so you say Truhe
['tru:ǝ] and Zehe ['tse:ǝ]. There's a slight but important difference between those two
phonems (I don't know how is it in English, but in German it's so).
