How to read $\textbf{A}^{op}$ in category theory?

Question

Simple question, how does one pronounce the name of the category $\textbf{A}^{op}$, defined as the dual of the category $\textbf{A}$?

Reading it, I want to say $\textit{ay-opp}$ /e$ɪ$-$ɑ$p/.

Answer 1

I say ay-op,and I have mostly heard that. Maybe one says the opposite of A the first time, but then proceeds to forget about it and ay-op.
