How about, Sofa or couch?

I call it a couch.

I had the same thought, I was confused. But I think maybe the "Pa-JA-mas" could be like "Pa-Jahhh-mas". I don't know, that's all I could think of.

Exactly the same.

Although I will confess to saying Libry instead of library when I say it quickly. Library is the kind of word you have to pronounce quite carefully to get it right.
