[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The second o is usually glossed over and pronunciation minimized in the transition from the emphasized first syllable ending in the hard c sound to the de emphasized last syllable, starting with the softer L sound. This is assuming that someone is speaking naturally. I would have a hard time deciphering whether someone was pronouncing 3 syllables or 2 unless they overemphasize the o (3 syllables) or pronounce the hard c at the start of the second syllable (bra-klee- 2 syllables). Pronouncing the hard c at the end of the first syllable gives a bit of a “trip” into the last syllable that gives 3 syllable energy even if the o is “silent.”[/quote] 👆🏼 there’s just no way the middle syllable is perceptible when I’m speaking in a natural, fluid fashion.[/quote]
