Again!
But mostly, I am interested in what pronunciation is reported by the good doctor, who gives only two pronunciations for "enclave" -- "en-klayv" and "ahng-klayv" -- while I have always pronounced it "ahn-klayv".
I am familiar with two pronunciations for encore: "ahng-kor" when shouted to performers to "give us more", and "anh-kor" when describing such a reaction, "the orchestra treated us to an encore". No recognition for "en-kor".

Re: encore
Taken up and treated here.
Life is like playing chess with chessmen who each have thoughts and feelings and motives of their own.
Re: encore
I believe the French do not use "encore" in this sense. Instead they say "bis" (Latin for "twice").
