Individual evidence
- ↑ Pronunciation: The “a” is really more of an “e”. Not the way “e” sounds in “eating” or “email”, but more of an “eh”, like in “elephant” or “exercise”. The teeth are meant to linger on the "f", hovering over the lips for a split second too long. The “ua” is like “wah”, not “oooa”. Afua Hirsch in Brit (ish) .
