-According to the ISODE 5.0 manual the pronounciation of "quipu" is 
-	kwip-ooo
-
-Now if quipu is named after the devices the Incas used to use then
-according to my understanding the pronounciation should be more like
-	kip-ooo

This word came up in a game of "Fictionary" I played this weekend.  One
made up definition was "A form of British slapstick."

In French, it's probably kip-ooo too, but that doesn't have anything
to do with Incanese.

Which dictionary has the correct pronounciation?

Injest,
