[Magdalen] Music question

[James Oppenheimer-Crawford]

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 are 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 ...
