to pronounce it, remember that the "ā" sound in all forms of Acadian French is definitely more posterior in the mouth than in standard European French. To an English-speaking learner, it might sound somewhat like "rope" with the "o" of "soap". the word is used primarily in the Baie Sainte-Marie area of Nova Scotia, and can easily be a source of fun when talking to naļve foreigners: "rāper" has as a first meaning grating a mix of raw and cooked potatoes to prepare what's known as "une rāpure" (rappie pie). The movement of grating is of course analogous to a vagina grating or being grated by a penis, so Jean-Louis Belliveau's song "Rāpe, rāpe et rāpe" had little to do with actual potatoes. sometimes, as in a song by the more conservative but still mischievous group "Les Tymeux de la Baie", a man can complain that "la rāpure" offered by his wife is somewhat soft...unless of course it's the reverse. "fourrer" does not have in Acadian the meaning it has in Québécois: as in Europe, it only means "to put".
