I would appreciate it if you would settle an argument for me.

In the phrase, "Erin go bragh" what is the correct pronunciation of bragh? Does it rhyme with draw? Or with sack? Or something else?

Thanks in advance for your help.

If your computer has speakers, here's a link to the Merriam-Webster Online
Dictionary with an audible pronunciation. Click on the small red icon to the
Left of "Hear It Again."

It rhymes with "bra," the attire which women wear.
