Title: "oh" or "ah"
Post by: upstatenybowyer on November 19, 2017, 06:57:20 pm

Okay. I'm almost afraid to ask this question, but I just gotta...

How do you folks pronounce the O in Osage?

Do you say "Oh"sage, or "Ah"sage?

I've always said "Oh"sage, and it sounds so right to me, even if I'm saying it wrong I don't think I'll ever be able to stop. No one even knows what Osage is up here, but the other day I heard someone say "Ah"sage and it got me thinking.  ???

Here in Michigan, it's always Oh. On the other hand I know some Canadians that use Ah - Tomatos, Tomattos   (=). Bob

Don't forget the parsley, Rosemary, and thyme!  Life is far too serious to be taken that way!  Serious things do happen to everybody, as we all know!

I was in college before I found out it was Osage  orange, as well as hedge apple!  It was almost a weed around St Louis, we used to have hedge ball "fights", like dodge ball!  I have to go back to the books to refresh my memory, don't think it grows around here very well, the rain is more than sparse!
