How do you pronounce Arpache?

[ilmolto]

I’ve always been curious. Some say Arpatchee but I say Arpake, like headache. Anyone know the answer?

[Strophoid]

I always assumed Arpatchee.

I would pronounce it like the helicopter “Apache” (mumbling)

[alexis]

It’s French, right?

Ar-puhh-shay.

I think you might be on to something, Centralmusic. I just googled Apache and it’s an attack helicopter. I feel kind of dumb not knowing what it was. It makes sense to call it after this chopper for that machine gun effect, which I guess can be related to an arpeggio.

Actually American attack helicopters are named after native American tribes. (mostly )

Yeah Apache is what I linked it to as well, thought that was obvious
