Talk:prairiehond

@Rua, Mnemosientje, Morgengave Do any of you pronounce this with /ɛː/ or have you heard it pronounced like that? Paardekooper has /ɛ/, which is how I would pronounce it. ←₰-→ Lingo ^Bingo _Dingo (talk) 10:40, 1 June 2019 (UTC)

It's hard to tell the difference in rapid speech, but I would say it with a long vowel in careful speech. I definitely would not rhyme prairie with merrie. —Rua (mew) 10:44, 1 June 2019 (UTC)

What Rua said, except even in rapid speech it's clearly long for me, much like the ê in enquête. — Mnemosientje (t · c) 10:36, 2 June 2019 (UTC)

Van Dale also has it with a long vowel, Prisma suggests a short one. ←₰-→ Lingo ^Bingo _Dingo (talk) 08:04, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
