Beautiful. fɹud͡ʒ.tə.bəl, I think, incidentally.

That seems right to me, the... what is that a lower case sigma?

iirc, thats the sort of... rolling 'zh' sound I was going for...

... though I think maybe we just have a natural dialect difference for how how to pronounce vegetable, as you've got the same vowel sound for the last two syllables?

But anyway, yeah, I think I came up with 'fruigtable' almost 20 years ago, upon first learning how much overlap there is due to all this linguistic silliness... so i choose chaos, and decided to add to it, and now I finally have a relevant time to use the nonsense/compound word, woo!

I only have the most pedestrian understanding of the IPA from a single class in college (which was a long time ago), so I'll admit I just grabbed the IPA off of Wiktionary for "fruit," "vegetable," and "fudge" to bridge between the two. It looks good enough to my eyes to be at least reasonable.
