Does this word have another sense??? See its use at trunnion, where the European fish sense seems very out of place!

Pronunciation

[edit]

Why are there two sections for RP? Also, can anyone back up the /ˈɡʌjən/ pronunciation? At first blush that smacks of transcription by someone with tenuous command of IPA; it certainly doesn't seem like a normal RP pron, if indeed it has any currency at all. @Sgconlaw, do you have some further insight into this pronunciation? -Coreydragon (talk) 22:29, 16 June 2021 (UTC)Reply

@Coreydragon: The duplication of the RP is a typo. As for the second GA pronunciation, something similar is given by Lexico. Perhaps it represents one pronunciation used in parts of the US? — SGconlaw (talk) 00:46, 17 June 2021 (UTC)Reply
