I've only heard the one with the schwa, and that's the only in Chambers. What's the source for the second syllable we now have? Equinox ◑ 14:44, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
- It's a nine year old addition by ScsRhymeBot (talk • contribs). Could be a pure error. I'll look into it, it should just take a few minutes to check a couple of dictionaries. Renard Migrant (talk) 14:50, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
- It's fine, loads of dictionaries have it. The Shorter Oxford English Dictionary (1993) has /-əs/ and /-ɔɪs/ while US dictionaries online only have /-əs/. Renard Migrant (talk) 14:56, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
