Howdy. Having never heard it spoken, I was wondering about the
pronounciation and origin of the word 'tuple'.
Is it pronounced: (a) 'tupul', being derived from "two-tuple,
three-tuple, multuple";
or (b), 'toople', eg. an innovation of Jimmy J. Tuple.
I would hate to distress anyone by referring to the mysterious
'toople'/'tupul' of which they know nought.
