ArchivesHelp With Pronunciation!!
Hi, I was wondering if anyone can help me out with the pronunciation of the following names? It would be very much appreciated.
Amarante - is it just simply ah-MAR-ant? or AH-mar-ant? or ah-mar-ANT? or something different?
Evadne - is it ee-VAD-knee (VAD rhyming with BAD) or ee-VOD-knee (VOD rhyming with FRAUD) or ee-VADE-knee (VADE rhyming with MADE). I always tend to say the second version although I have a hunch that it's really the first ...?
Elijah - I say it ee-LIE-jhah (soft j), but BtN has it as ee-LIE-zha (as in Eliza?) and I've also heard it as ee-LIE-jah (with a hard j sound).
Elisha - same as Elijah, I've heard multiple pronunciations. Does any one know if there is a more correct one? There is an Elisha and an Elijah in the bible, and at mass today even our priest was having trouble with it. Help, anyone?
And I think that's it for now.
Thanks in advance,
Mika
