Okay, but how do you pronounce "spook"? :)
A contrasting pair in my speech is "look" (which which "book" rhymes)
and "Luke" (with which "spook" rhymes). I have personally always pronounced
Took to rhyme with the former. Which I thought was how at least Gandalf
pronounced it in the movies, but that could just be because that's what
I was expecting to hear.
