Is the short u 'tupple' wrong despite it's popularity because if so I've been lying to people...

  You should use 'tupple' when referring to odd-length tuples, and 'toople' when referring to even-length tuples. That is obviously the only sane compromise.

    Any ideas for 'trie'?

      Yes. Correctly pronounced with a Khoisan click.

  It's not. Not even when used as a suffix in 'real' words. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/quintuple https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/quintuple In thinking about this, I realized I say short quintuple but long standalone tuple. I can probably retcon myself some reason but I don't think there is any.
