My wife pronounces it three different ways, each of which she can support. I pronounce it one, but other than that it’s the way I’ve heard it I can’t support my pronunciation even after some searches. What’s yours and why?

    The most incorrect pronunciation i can come up with is probably ken-TAH-oo-ur

      Well, apparently my answer (“sen-chwar”) is also very incorrect. Someone else in this thread also answered “sen-a-tar.” I would argue both beat yours for incorrectness, as they don’t fit the spelling.

      I thought mine was based on something French, based on almost nothing, but another person in the thread has corrected that theory.
