Pronunciation[edit]

ri ˈsɪʒ ən The sound of the -ss- is like that in precision, abscission or fission, not that in permission. --Backinstadiums (talk) 15:44, 10 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

We currently list both pronunciations for abscission and for fission, and in fact the pronunciation with the voiceless š is listed first on both, although I know that that doesnt mean that it is more common. There seems to be no rule governing the pronunciation of this cluster, though I would at least say it makes sense that it would follow the pattern of abscission. Thank you for bringing this up.
