My friend and I today were discussing the Nudibranch. How do you pronounce Nudibranch?
Is it like Nudie-Branch (like a nudie beach, and the branch on the tree?) or like Nudi-Brank (with a short I, like in "IT" - and then like in New York The Bronx, only without the "S" sound on the X)?

Sounds like NEW-D-BRANK is a winner.

That is the way I prefer to say it.

new duh brank
I'm pretty sure this is the correct pronunciation. The character used in the "pronunciation" of the dictionary represents a "Duh" sound, not "Dee." IMHO.

It is properly pronounced new duh brank. You could say bronch, but that is more similar to the actual greek pronunciation rather than what is the usual pronunciation.
