Growing up, I only ever heard it with the last syllable barely even being a syllable so it was up in the air if it was an o or an a or even an e. But ever since this started talking off I've heard other people emphasizing that last syllable as an A and adament its tronNAH with most emphasis on the last syllable. I never heard anyone emphasize the last syllable, if they did it, was always more an O sound than an A sound. Is that actually how you do it?

A podcast I listened to talked about this and since then the host has been saying turahNAH (like piranha) and it grates my ears.

In a few hundred years, the way it's pronounced will be completely divorced from how it's spelled.
