I say tahmaaaaahto.

When I was at BBB looking at the Endless Love setting the other day, I swear the sales person called the culet the "coolay". Is it pronounced "kul-it" or "cool-ay"? I always thought it was "kul-it". Hmm.

My dictionary says it''s kul''it.

from tutorial: "The point on the bottom of a diamond's pavilion is called a culet (pronounced que-let or the French sounding que-lay)."

from Answers.com: cu·let (kyû'lĭt, kŭl'ĭt): The small flat face at the bottom of a gem cut as a brilliant.
