<<just how DO you pronounce Hejira? Phonetic spellings please!>>
according to webster's, two proper pronunciations - first, huh - 'ji - ruh the e pronounced like the i in 'hit,' the i pronounced like the i in 'ice' and the a pronounced like the a in 'abut,' and with the accent on the second syllable second, 'hej - uh - ruh the e pronounced like e in 'bet,' the i and the a like the a in 'abut,' with the accent on the first syllable. but yeah, i'm pretty sure that joni pronounces it like hell does. and accent aside, i do, too. and by the way, welcome to you, john. we're glad you're here. post often. we're always glad to have new insights and new opinions. cindy
