How to pronounce "tuple"?

Solution 1:

There are two possible pronunciations, one to rhyme with two pull (/tupəl/) and the other with supple (/tʌpəl/).

Take your pick. There will always be someone to agree with you... violently :)

Solution 2:

It should be pronounced to rhyme with quintuple, sextuple, octuple etc, since these are its origins.

Solution 3:

I don't use either of the pronunciations Benjol mentioned. I say /tjupl/, the first syllable rhyming with "stew".

I suspect that Benjol has a dialect in which "dew" and "do" are homonyms, but they aren't for me or most British speakers.

Solution 4:

When I first heard of tuple in C.J. Date’s book An Introduction to Database Systems, he goes to the trouble of explaining that it is pronounced like couple. That was in an early edition around 1983.

Solution 5:

I am a British speaker.

I pronounce Dew and Do differently (dew - stew - chew / do - too - who).

But tuple/quintuple/quintuplets I pronounce with 'up', not 'oop' (tuple - supple).

So do any other British speakers I know.
