Except it's origano - but agreed the stress is on the rig.

Quite right, my bad - talk about spot the deliberate mistake! My ex ma in
law always said oREGano, presumably to try to stop the English *******ising
yet another of her country's words even further. She was equally
impassioned about how we pronounce Pinocchio and Michaelangelo! Getting
those 'wrong' was like turning a key in her back. It was agony to her! And
as for zabaglione - well, you can imagine!
