I thought Xenia would have been mentioned a long time ago
Xenia: Zane-e-yah, X-zane-yah, Zane-yah

 

[jackri]

I always called Xenia: zeen-E-ah

What do you think?

Here's one for you. I am pretty sure I know how to pronounce this, but since I have never had to use it before in speech, como se dice nematocysts?

Blenny: ble-nē, not blē-nē.
You know, the online Merriam-Webster dictionary has an audio pronunciation feature.

But if you have it hooked up to a chiller, then it become a refugorator ri-fyu-jer-ay-tor

I've actually never heard anyone use this word (only read it), so I'm gonna take a stab at it, maybe if I'm wrong someone will chime in.
Nee-Mat-O-Sists
But what does "bie won" mean? I don't get it.

Thanks. That's what I thought, but wasn't sure if it wasn't sure if it was refract-oh-meter

 

[pezenfuego]

what about cnidarian? Wow, that was a complete guess at the spelling, but I guess it got through Firefox. So how do you say that?
