That’s caca and coocoo
Ooof. That reminds me my mum saying “Coelogyne” (an orchid genus). It throws me a curveball:
- Ecclesiastical - [tʃe.lɔ.'dʒi.nɛ]
- regional (Portuguese speakers) - [se.lo.'ʒi.ne]~[se.lo.'ʒi.ni]
- her pronunciation - [se.lo.'dʒi.ne]
Then I spend a few seconds thinking “selodine… no, that’s not right” because the local dialect parses [dʒi] as /di/.
At least I don’t have this problem with the Paphiopedilum. She simply calls them “sapatinho” (little shoe).
