[Ads-l] how to say "Paul Krugman"

[Laurence Horn]

I guess you’re right about that, when I say it to myself.  I meant the vowel in “Boog”, as in Boog Powell, the old Orioles first baseman.

In principle, I suppose the first syllable could have been pronounced to rhyme with “plug” or with “Moog”; after all, Jack Klugman pronounced his name as /kl^gm at n/ rather than /klUgm at n/, but I’ve only ever heard it as /krUgm at n/.
