You say oo and I say ooh -- I'd think proo would rhyme with look or book.
While ooh rhymes with "Two".
I got that it is an ooh sound (which is not an "O" sound). I was just
teasing about the triple U -- as in is that just Ooh, or is it Ooh, ooh,
ooh.
Prooh as in Winnie the Prooh.
or, one might just say, the L and X or silent. That really covers the
matter, I think. I had no idea til this thread appeared, but I never had
any need to pronounce, so no problem. Sort of like scion ...
