writes "Kay wrote in message Now try... Coelogyne :-) That's the one my mother always called 'colly ogny' -- All right then it's correctly Koy-lo-gin-ee (as it's Latin) But isn't coelacanth from the same root? And that's not Koylacanth. I was always taught that oe was pronounced ee as in onomatopoeia Though the vainy veedy veechy school would pronounce coeli as chayli -- Kay Easton Edward's earthworm page: http://www.scarboro.demon.co.uk/garden/ |
