How do OED's "Received Speakers" pronounce toise (n), the OED's
phonetics for which are
<font face="Plantin OUP" size=3>t</font>
<font face="Times New Roman Phonetics, Times" size=3>OI</font>
<font face="Plantin OUP" size=3>z
</font>?<font face="Plantin OUP" size=3> </font>Like
"twas" (as the French would), or like "toys", which
is how I have interpreted the phonetic symbols from the OED CD's
guide?<br><br>
