Note :
Until the time of Walker (
1791 ),
vase was made to rhyme with base ,
case ,
etc .,
and it is still commonly so pronounced in the United States .
Walker made it to rhyme with phrase ,
maze ,
etc .
Of modern English practice ,
Mr .
A .
J .
Ellis (
1874 )
says : "
Vase has four pronunciations in English :
v [
add ]
z ,
which I most commonly say ,
is going out of use ,
v [
aum ]
z I hear most frequently ,
v [=
a ]
z very rarely ,
and v [=
a ]
s I only know from Cull '
s marking .
On the analogy of case ,
however ,
it should be the regular sound ."
The Merriam -
Webster '
s 10th Colletgiate Dictionary says :
"
U .
S .
oftenest v [=
a ]
s ;
Canada usu .
and U .
S .
also v [=
a ]
z ;
Canada also &
U .
S .
sometimes v [
aum ]
z ."
One wit has noted that "
a v [
aum ]
z is a v [=
a ]
z that costs more than $
100 .",
suggesting that the former is considered a higher -
class pronunciation .
[
1913 Webster PJC ]
3 . (
Bot .)
The calyx of a plant .
