Putable or puttable?

[nq:1]Used in financial terms, "put(t)able swap," for example - meaning capable of being put. Which spelling is more appropriate? To me (American English speaker) putable looks like it would rhyme with "inscrutable," so I usually spell it puttable. A colleague has queried my spelling.[/nq]
I'd go with "puttable" for the reason you give.

I don't think that works either looks like a golf term. I think you have to find some awkward solution like "put-able".

Gets my vote; I don't see it as awkward at all.
Sometimes, people are way too hyphen-shy.

"Putable swap" and "puttable swap" have equal number of hits on the Web (both very small numbers). Until

Hey, a sort of mishyphenshy.

[nq:1]Is there some authority to turn to an accepted glossary of financial and business terms?[/nq]
There's my trusty Barron's Guide to Finance or whatever it's called, an impressive thick book with a red cover, but it's somewhere in Connecticut.

Didn't mean to imply that; apologies if it seemed that way.

What I was thinking was that the OP and his/her circle may have been so indoctrinated against hyphenating words that "put-able" didn't even enter the frame as a possible form.
That, I think, is what happens too often. Hyphenation

I don't like either of those spellings much, and "put-able" isn't that great either. I agree with you tha

No apology necessary: I didn't think that you were targetting me. I just like my new word hyphenshy.
