Subject: RE: BS: Rutabaga, Turnip, Swede
How is rutabaga pronounced? I have only seen it written, never heard it said as it's not a term used in Ox. Is it root-abaga (to rhyme with shoot) or rut-abaga (to rhyme with but)? and is the last part bay-ga or bar-ga?

Many thanks if you can shine a linguistic light.....

Cheers
