Varz. The pronounciation Vayze is mainly American. Like Americans either pronounce Mirror like "Mere" or "Merer" whilst we say "Mir-rer"

Vahse

I hear vahse and vayse in the US. Not varse, however, unless you're Locust Valley Lockjaw or Boston Brahmin or something

So, do you say "vaze" or "varse?"

You forget the uncommon third alternative, vawz. :smile:

I pronounce it as 'varse', I always presumed that was the correct way of pronouncing it and that 'vaze' is how Americans pronounce it.

Byron

Just at the instance, while their eyes were fix'd
Upon each other, with diluted glance,
In Juan's look, pain, pleasure, hope, fear, mix'd
With joy to save and dread of some mischance
Unto his protoge; while hers, transfix'd
With infant terrors, glared as from a trance,
A pure, transparent, pale, yet radiant face,
Liked to a lighted alabaster vase
