*GASP!* Wendy! You truly *aren't* from here are you? *G*

'Yreka' is pronounced just how it looks: Y(like the letter 'Y') -ree-ka.
http://www.yrekachamber.com/

Not to be confused with the town of 'Eureka' which is on the coast.
http://www.eurekawebs.com/ and named after Archimedes' exclaimation after
discovering his Principle http://www.colchsfc.ac.uk/maths/archimedes.htm
(which is also the California State
motto)http://www.library.ca.gov/history/ca....cfm#Heading11

See Yahoo Maps (hope these work, if not just plug 'map Yreka California in
the Google search engine): Yreka

At first I thought of the simple answer could be :-

Then I thought of the pronunciation of the word "people"
Pee-Kerr
I don't know but this is the way I would pronounce it with my SA
accent.
Pee Oh kah


Pee-O-kerr is how _I_ say it. But evidently I can't even pronounce my
own name right (if telemarketers are any indication).

I think that is how I've heard people who actually breed with that
plant
say it. Not that they necessarily are right either.

Going to San Francisco today. I wonder how to pronounce it. Actually
I've always wondered at how to pronounce Yreka.
