How to pronounce semogue?

[JPM]

Ok, I know it is kind of silly but I ordered one and don't know how to pronounce it. I tried putting it in the pronounciation tool from the, "How to pronounce L'Occitane" thread, but unless I'm using it wrong the closest word it would give me was "segue".

Any help?

I'd assume the first syllable from semaphore and the last from prologue would be about right.

Those who know Portugese tell me it is pronounced, "Smog". Just like the haze over LA.

Many times I transliterate the name and pronounce it, "Sum' ahg way", but that is my southern roots coming to play.

But any way you say it, it means really nice brush!

Thanks, Gents. I think I'll go with what I saw on one of the other pronounciation posts, "Once you buy it, you can say it anyway you like".

Gonna be se mog for me.

Dang, I've been pronouncing it 'throat warbler mangrove'. How embarrassing.

Is that anything like a yellow breasted sapsucker?

That's right, it sounds just like smog, except it has three separate sounds.
Se-mo-gue in wich SE sounds just like semaphore, MO as in modern and GUE as you pronounce prologue
.

If that's too hard, smog is just fine.
