Pronunciation
I've always pronounced "Ceanothus" as "Key-An-Oh-Thus", with the emphasis on the "An". Is this correct, or am I completely wrong (does it have a soft C for example). My neighbour pronounces "Cotoneaster" as "Cott-On-Ee-Aster" (Emphasis on the "Ee") whereas I have always thought of it as if it were the two words "Cotton-Easter" - is he right and me wrong again? :-) My old latin teacher used to say it didn't matter how you pronounced it as it is a dead language so as long as it is written correctly we were fine!! That said "c'tony aster" and "key a noh thus" Jay |
