Pah, lesbos is the plural of 'lesbo', which is a slang term for a lesbian

Well, I still have some questions about the pronunciation of "word". I can't get the sound

Can one say that this -ord sounds like -ird in bird?

Yes, as well as "third", "curd" and "turd" for that matter.

At least it does when I say them.
