Re: Orion
in reply to a message by beethoven
This doesn't really answer any of your questions, but when I still lived in Rome, in my second grade class there was a boy named Regulus. I really like constellation names, but people in America always pronounce them differently than the way I learned them in Rome at an early age. There, Orion was pronounced more or less like O'Ryan not like Or-ee-in, like the president says. And Regulus was pronounced reg-you-lis, not reh-gyoo-lus.
