ArchivesRe: Linai T. Helms
in reply to a message by Cleveland Kent Evans
Interesting indeed. Any idea how these families might have pronounced Lynaugh? I'd assume that Linai would be stressed on the second syllable, which the spelling seems to foreground ... but the only Lynaugh I've ever heard of was an Australian rugby player in the 90s whose name, as used by equally Australian sports broadcasters, came out as LINE-ah.

Nope, we'd have to know descendants of Linai T. Helms and his relatives to know how they was pronouncing Linai and Lynaugh, I guess. :)
