I was just wondering what the correct pronunciation of "boka" is, as in bokakob? I certainly know how to spell it but am unsure of myself when it comes up in real world conversation...

Try doing a search for "bokakob"... 1207 matches prior to this post and 1208 after... The only references to "bokacob" are in this topic and should now have a count of 4 because of the additional 2 in this post... Pretty neat, eh...???WalkingWolf wrote:did a search for bokacob -- got 2 results

Looked at the search, and sure enough, I had posted in several of the Bokakob threads just hadn't paid attention.

Re: Toe-may-toe Toe-mah-toe
no no no neither of them, hard o, hard o! I just spent 20 minutes trying to look up graphemes and phonemes to express myself properly, but failedScottishBoy wrote:Boe' - kha or Bah -Kha...?
About or Aboot...?
So I'll settle for saying like the German beer, bock. or for that matter, in kob - so it's a phonetic palindrome as well [/nosebleed] I'm probably wrong though. Three sheets to the wind!
