HelpRe: Kateri
in reply to a message by Cerridwen Vandroogenbroeck
Love Kateri. But you're pronunciation is off.
I did some research on this about a year ago. I found a site dedicated to Kateri Tekawitha (sp?). It said the correct pronunciaiton is "KAH-ter-ee."
This makes sense to me when you consider native Americans trying to pronounce Katherine, which would come out closer to "KAH-ter-in" or "KAH-ter-een." I know a linguist with a local native tribe here on the Pacific Northwest. Ms Tekawitha was from the east coast, so I can't say this is how she would say Katherine. But it's a pretty good educated guess. The "KAH-ter-ee" pronunciation I got off that site, so that's definite.
I don't care for Kinborough, sorry. I much prefer Cyneburga.
