Paul Lip
|
Or Pol-Ips
|
2nd pol-IPS.
|
pol ips
|
According to dictionary.com it's "pol-ips".
Phonetically spelled it would be pronounced "PAUL IPS" per the pronunciation key from this source. I have heard it pronounced "POLE IPS" and I believe this is incorrect and dictionary.com seems to back that up. |
pol-ips
|
I pronounce it - those little round things with wild lookin centers, or those brown ones, or those green things in the corner. Just think of scallops but with a P instead of the sc.
|
pol-ips as well here.
|
paul lips
|
... and what exactly does this term refer to?
My understanding is that it is not one thing but a group of things that look like stems with a button, or flower looking head... which there are tons of different types. is this correct? |

I'm a "paw-lip" guy.
Here's a funner pronunciation setup for you. I pronounce various corals with the same symbol structure as below... Acro-por-a Mon-ti-por-a (or Monti-por-a) Mille-por-a I've met a couple people that pronounce them as follows: A-crop-ora Mon-tip-ora Mill-ep-ora Though it is the same word, it sounds so out of this world. Ack-row-pore-uh versus Ah-crop-or-uh Monty-pore-uh versus Mon-tip-or-uh |
