Re: Pronunciation of Arsinoë
in reply to a message by Kirke
True, but what about the original Greek pron.?(I think this is what the OP wanted to know?). I suppose the "e" is an eta originally, which would be pronounced in the French way in ancient Greek and more like a "ee" sound in modern Greek.*BtN's resident 10th century Japanese novelist*My lovely !!! are Mehitabel, Hypatia and Zohar."A tuo ammaestramento.
