Actually, now that you mention it, that makes since, but I, personally, have never given the Spanish factor a first thought, and have always thought of it as "al-len-de". It just never crossed my mind for a moment to pronounce it "ah-yen-dey". (I also don't call llama yama, or Lloyd's Of London Yoyds of London-- nothing wrong wth Anglification of words adopted into English). ______________________________________________ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
