Does not sound like pause, cause, paws, or boss.

*edit - soft o.

So my only error is that I don't drag the soft "a" long enough?

That's bullshit because that rhymes with "pause"

Nuh-uh. "aw" doesn't rhyme with "ah".

Don't really have to drag it out, I was just trying to avoid copypasting IPA. Näz.

Correct. I think we can blame this more on the Galesburg upbringing than any personal failing.

So I should pronounce it like David Haugh's last name if it were possessive?

What? No. Haugh's and pause rhyme, and they don't sound the same as Nas and Oz.

I don't think it's a geographic thing. Oz doesn't rhyme with pause regardless of where you are in the country.

Well I don't think it's an English word. I think it comes from Nasir, which is his first name. That name is Arabic.

Hey man, anything to make sure LYK keeps that garage door open as he figures this shit out. Don't want him to hang himself on it or something. At this point.

I just figured it out, and it's totally a rural vs non-rural thing.

My wife just advised me (without any swaying beforehand) that they don't rhyme. And it's due to my rural twang.

She pronounces pause as pawse and Oz as Aahz.

I pronounce them the exact same way.

This has been educational and cathartic.
