anise

[Douglas G. Wilson]

Even MW3, which usually shows a lot of variant pronunciations, shows
only plain old /&nIs/ "AN-nis". Oxford on-line the same. At a glance,
only the Cambridge on-line has (besides this) the Frenchy /&ni:s/ with
second-syllable stress. Even the Cambridge on-line lacks the Frenchy
"ahn-DEEV" ... but MW3 has it.
