Pronunciation (homographs)
[edit]The sound in the first syllable isn't the same if it is a bird (with the 'cup' sound) or a man (with the 'coal' sound).zigzig20s 14:57, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
Pantry
[edit]Webster 1913 says it's a pantry in UK dialect, citing somebody called Parker. I could not find evidence for this in Google Books. Equinox ◑ 00:50, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
