  • Hi arkady! You can put that information in the Discuss area of the clearning page for future word hunters.

    Do you pronounce the vowels in the first syllable like clean or learn?

    If I saw that word without explanation, I'd think it involved cleaning and learning, a class you take while doing household chores.
