I will get crucified by the people who put the pronunciations in dictionatris but: Luff-berer -ish Slough as in plough Loughborough Lough not as in plough... I'm not sure that Greenwitch is unusual, though I can't think of any other examples at the moment! -- http://www.petezilla.co.uk |

Lough should be the same as slough (pronounced sluff), so I'd guess it's "luffburrow" |
