@James I would hazard that they both approximate to “perra” with a New York twang. As an ex-pat Scot I vividly remember an elementary teacher telling me my pronunciation of “of” was misleading my children.
I enjoyed this puzzle but can I grumble about a “glen” being a “low-lying landform”? While having a low-lying component the term typically also refers to the hills/mountains either side. In my native Scotland the classic of the type might be Glen Coe which is less than half a mile wide at the bottom but bound by 3000 ft mountains either side which are considered part of the glen.
@Larry There is a tradition that the bride wears “something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue”
@RozzieGrandma In my one time part of Scotland “of” and “off” are one and the same although the vowel sound is probably a bit longer than an American ear might expect. In thirty years the vocabulary has had to change but the accent is much the same.
