Is it pronounced um’-brella, or um-brella’?
Help us resolve this disagreement!
(Yitzchak says that it depends on the word’s use in a sentence: “I have a green um-brella’.” vs. “I borrowed an um’-brella from the guard.” (Umbrella is the key word in the sentence.) However, I have not really heard him differentiate between these two in pronunciation, except for right now, when he is trying to prove a point.)
Shlomo loves umbrellas. I can just imagine his reaction if and when he sees this post . . .
