"fish"
gh - as in enough
o - as in women
ti - as in diction
I remember seeing this one many, may years ago...

Well, my French teacher told me that one last year.
The "gh" in the word would be the "gh" in laugh. (an "f" sound)
The "o" in the word would be the "o" in (I don't remember, but the o should sound like an i)
The "ti" in the word would be the "ti" in nation. (a "sh" sound)
I don't remember the "o" part, but the word would be pronounced like "fish".

i'm French and in case you're spelling it Madeleine, which by way of ways is especially old fashionned, you will say it "Mad-uh-len", the final area stated like once you shorten Leonard to Len.

I looked it up at m-w.com and there's no listing for it. I don't think it's a real english word.
