Dumb question: How do pronounce "Rossignol"

Google and web searches came up empty. Like the word "Chimera", "Rossingnol" has no correct pronunciation, so most people just call 'em Rossies (ROSS' EASE). Rhymes with "frog skis". -- Cheers, Bev xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxx "If anyone disagrees with anything I say, I am quite prepared not only to retract it, but also to deny under oath that I ever said it." -- T.
