It's possible there was a transcription error, but it's been so long that I have no idea who gave me that pronunciation. Does anyone remember? I'm pretty much assuming that what people sent to the list is an accurate reflection of their own pronunciation and usage, but I could easily have made mistakes converting various ASCII-IPA pronunciations to IPA.
