or just open a good english-french translation dictionnary and look at pencil
My Australian dictionary, using international phonetic symbols, has kre..n (there are two symbols like a small capital 'I' and a backwards 'a' that I don't know how to reproduce).

My copy of Webster's (an American dictionary) has kraan, where the first 'a' has a line over the top and the second has an umlaut (two dots over the top). I can't work out for sure if the two dictionaries are using the same system. Possibly not, as I can't even find the backwards 'a' thing in Webster's list of symbols.

On second though, I've actually heard a couple of people say "sammich." People like this should choose between the option of death and pronunciation classes.

I've always said "kran" as in cranberry, but I also have always said "warsh" as in wash and Washington.
