Pronounce "tuple"
Dear all,
Wiktionary () allows two prononcuations of the word "tuple", one with "ju", the other with short "a". Where is the difference?
Thanks in advance

Short a? What short a? Short a is the vowel in pat, sad, tap.
Wiktionary offers two pronunciations, either /tu p@l/ or /tVp @l/. The first is the real u sound, as in "food," "rule" named in my old English books as "half-long u." ("Long u" is /ju/, just like the name of the letter.) The second is the short u, as in "mud" very close to the schwa.
