Hemero carllis. ;-) The opportunities for debate are endless e.g. Nye
fophia or Niphoffia (Kniphofia) I knew someone who pronounced Dahlia
as 'Darlia' but don't know anyone who pronounces Fuchsia as Fooksia.


The Dutch do.


That would make sense to Dutch and German speakers. I should probably
have said 'anyone British'!


We aren't all total monoglots, you know! I have to remind myself
that it's Fyooshier - that's very foxing :-)
