Pronounce Bocote???

[RandyJ]

Ok all you sawdust covered Woodaholics...What is the correct pronunciation for Bocote:dontknow:? I've looked all over the internet (well, most of it) and can't find a dictionary/encylopedia that has it listed as the PRIMARY word. I've found it referenced as a common name for Cordia but no clue on phonetics:eusa_thin.

Any help? Thanks

I think I heard Bŭ - ĸō - tay on one of the woodworking shows.

I can't put all the little pronunciation marks in but I've always said

I've mainly heard is as

BOO - KOE - TAY

I heard Sam Maloof say bo-ko-tay (both Os with a long 'O', the emphasis on the 'ko').
