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 bastardising
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!
