Re: [meteorite-list] pronunciation of L'aigle
Greg, That website sounds like how I've heard Anne pronounce it (but it has been a while since I heard her say it). Any why isn't Bernd able to post anymore??

L'aigle is an easy one. * aigle * is the eagle in English but let's talk about its pronunciation: - *ai* sounds like the first *a* in animal My francais may be a bit rusty, but I'm pretty sure L'aigle is pronounced pretty close to: LAY' -gluh (emphasis on first syllable, with the uh at the end just barely pronounced. There really isn't an English equivalent to the clipped sound of the -gle ending.) --Rob http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
Re: [meteorite-list] pronunciation of L'aigle
Yes, I agree with Rob, The end is clipped off, and the e is practically silent. The recording is right. Now do you want to try Orgueil ? ;-) Anne M.

L'aigle is an easy one. * aigle * is the eagle in English but let's talk about its pronunciation: Well...while we are at it, how do you pronounce Sikhote-alin ? You can't begin to imagine how I was pronouncing it until I heard someone actually say it aloud about a month ago. Figured it had to be right because it was easier to get thru the lips. I now understand it to be pronounced like this...Sid-coat-e-a-lean. That's from the point of view of english speaking people. Am I close or am I still off?

Re: [meteorite-list] pronunciation of L'aigle
Greetings all, The best advice I ever got on meteorite pronunciation was several years back from Rob Elliot and I'm paraphrasing here Pronounce it however you think it's supposed to sound, chances are that 99% of the people listening haven't a clue themselves and will accept your pronunciation as the correct one.

Sounds like good advice to me...that's what I normally do anyhow. But every once in awhile, what I think it's suppose to sound changes and then I get all screwed up. :O) GeoZay __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
