How do you say..........

[girlygirl]

Enveloped..........

[Solarjunkie]

With the emphasis on the second syllable.

[Tit-4-Tat]

However, if you are referring to the First syllable As some people (god knows why) insist on saying ON - velope - as my dictionary says `in imitation of French - then maybe they do say ONveloped also.

THere is only one pronunciation - En vel oped, with the stress on vel

[Quizmonster]

Ah, but The Oxford English Dictionary lists the possibility of using 'envelope' - colloquially - as a verb! So, "All these letters are enveloped now, sir" would mean the letters had been put into envelopes. In such circumstances, the stress would be on the 'en' and the 'ope', just as happens with the noun form.

Having said that, I've never actually heard anyone saying such a thing. I am merely being mischievous since - though it's probably of little interest to anyone else - this is my 9,000th response here on AnswerBank.
