pronunciation
I'm confused about the pronunciation. The IPA says /mɪˈstɹɑːl/ but the audio file is /ˈmɪstɹəl/. Are both pronunciations valid? Emflazie (talk) 18:58, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
 * : Apparently both are correct (the old New Oxford American Dictionary app on my computer says so), but the version with the final accent is probably closer to the original source before it came to English. That means the final-accent version is probably better if you want to sound educated. Chuck Entz (talk) 22:51, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
