Marc:
>>Well, this is how I pronounce things:
>>"grenouille" [gRo"n'nui] (the ending is more [i] than [j])
>>"Louis" [lu'i]
>>"Anouilh" [anu'i]
>
>No, it's [gR&'nuj] and [a'nuj].
... But with rounded schwa in [gR&'nuj], right? Does it matter
if one pronounces the first syllable with a final -n as above? As
for Anouilh, if one can say Louis as [lu'i] (We seem to agree here)
then, I'm sure that regardless of the proper pronunciation
of the name, there are no doubt even native French speakers just
as confused as I am when pronouncing that freaky name.
But, now that I know, I'll pronounce it properly from now on,
thanx!
