How do you pronounce...?

Please tell me the correct pronunciations of these words. I'm worried I'm saying them incorrectly.

applicable
(AP-lihk-uh-bul or uh-PLIHK-uh-bul?)

caveat
(KAH-vee-aht? KAA-vee-aht? -- long A or short, don't know how to indicate that)

ogle
(AH-gul? OH-gul? OO-gul?)

abhor
(uhb-HOR? uh-BOR? -- is the H silent?)


Thanks for the help!

Check a dictionary. I'm sure more than one of those words has more than one acceptable pronunciation.

THANK YOU!

I totally won an arguement on the correct pronunciation of "abhor".
And I lost one on "ogle".
