By the same token, and according to my Latin dictionary, Pinus (as
in
P. sylvestris, etc.) should be pronounced Peenus, which leads into
very dangerous territory with pronunciations such as Peenus contorta
or Peenus parviflora Adcock's Dwarf.
LOL The mind simply boggles at the thought!
Pity the people who live in Penistone (1)
(1) Which is, for obvious reasons, pronounced " penny stone"
