Pronunciation

Why is /ʌmˈbɹɛlə/ the pronunciation? Isn't /ʌ/ only supposed to appear in a stressed position?--Pablo Escobar (talk) 16:24, 28 April 2021 (UTC)

Nope, it can occur unstressed. (Example: pickup.) Equinox ◑ 17:08, 28 April 2021 (UTC)

umbrella

Sense: "Umbrella bridge, a bridge in more than one direction. An umbrella bridge was built over Oxford Circus in 1963 to allow traffic to drive over it while excavation took place below it to create a new ticket hall for the London Underground as part of construction of the Victoria Line. https://www.ianvisits.co.uk/blog/2013/08/22/50-years-ago-a-huge-steel-umbrella-for-oxford-circus-tube-station/ accessed 2021-09-29."

This might be true: but it seems to have been dropped in drive-by style, perhaps the user really meant "umbrella bridge"; so we need to prove a sense of the word umbrella. (If necessary, please move to umbrella bridge with appropriate citations. Thanks honeys. I love you all, even when we fight.) Equinox ◑ 00:24, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
