Pee - Cannes (the city in France), accent on the second syllable.
When I moved to the mid-atlantic east coast after growing up in NM (there are pecan orchards near Roswell) an uncle explained to me his dining room table was Pee - can, accent on the pee. I told him I had never heard of that wood. Then later he ordered Pee - can pie at a restaurant, accent on first syllable. I finally figured out his table was from the same tree as the nut.
