The word “slough” can have two different pronunciations depending on its meaning.
1. If you are referring to a “slough” as a swampy or marshy area, it is typically pronounced as “slou” (rhymes with “cow”).
2. If you are talking about “slough” in the context of shedding or casting off, like in “slough off skin,” it is pronounced “sluff” (rhymes with “puff”).
If you have a specific context in mind, I can help clarify further!
