cuirass, how to pronounce?

[Dragon Master]

Any ideas, the dictionary.com thing didn't help. Could someone spell how it sounds.

[Glencaer]

According to m-w.com, it is kwi-ras or kyu-ras, which would be like "cure-as s"

Where does "blocks" come into that? Were you refering to a donkey of some sort instead?

[JoshWedin]

Lenny is correct. Cure-"donkey" is the proper pronunciation.

I always pronounced it "key-yu-ri-as"

[Glencaer]

I always pronounced it "key-yu-ri-as"

I would say you're adding at least one extra syllabel into the word, I mean, where would "ri" come from? It is "cuirass," not cuirea ss.

[TwoTonic Knight]

Kwi-ras or kyu-ras. The "r" should be part of the "-a-s-s". Those suggesting more than two syllables are incorrect. Those suggesting the "r" is part of the first syllable are incorrect.

Edit in: The auto-censor is working a little toooooo hard.

[Scnicker]

I pronounce it as "cure-e a-s-s".

you could hear the pronunciation with the talkany.
