Is it LEE-la? And can anyone confirm the meaning? Thanks!

Stress is not a marked feature of classical Sanaskrit (and most major modern Indian languages), so both syllables would be equally stressed (or rather the stress would be guided by the sentence construction).

So it's lee-la :) Thank you :) I like that pronunciation a lot better than LY-la.
