Papaw or pawpaw?

• jancsika 3y ago
  Paw paw, or paw-paw AFAICT. Accent is on the first "paw." So that's a no on papaw which would suggest pronouncing it "puh-PAH," or perhaps even "PAP-paw" which would create a name clash with the backwoodsian term for "father" Burl Ives and all the folk singers on Youtube agree: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsGJm10nJ6w https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsGJm10nJ6w
