Huh. That's not how I was interpreting those choices. I thought the difference was in the second syllable - /əm/ versus /ɛm/.
@dodec I was mostly curious about the first vowel, really. We always pronounced it as something around /oʊ/ or /oə/ but occasionally hear people pronounce it as /ɔ/.
Seems people mostly agree that the o is /oʊ/ or /oː/, but there's disagreement on whether the l is /l/ or /ɫ/. Interesting!
