| 2. It comes from the same French verb as "coup" |
|
...and who says "kyoop d'etau"?
Indeed, who? :evilgrin:

that went right over my head. I didn't even make the connection to that earlier thread. I'm sorry you had to go digging for it.
I did kind of puzzle over your choice of de tau but my focus was on the coup part, so I didn't really think about that part.
:hi:
this little conversation might have played out better verbally than writtenly*
* - what is the word I should put there? I'm at a loss. :)

But seemingly a lot of people I know pronounce it "Q-pon".
