Default Pronunciation

snip 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!!

Jay


Or at another angle:
"Oh, come with old Khayyam, and leave the Wise
To talk; one thing is certain, that Life flies;
One thing is certain, and the rest is Lies;
The Flower that once has blown for ever dies".

(In Swedish we have a translation like this: I try to write it back in English).
Let the wise men talk and lay down
in the scent of roses, in the smiling sun
One thing is certain, that life flies
The flower that once has blown for ever dies.
