there are two *official* ways to pronounce *hejira*, a word that after all has existed for centuries and that joni hasn't invented, much though i love the album.
one way (and ROUGHLY, since i can't type IPA symbols here): /hedge-EYE-ruh/ the other way: /HEDGE-uh-ruh/. joni pronounces it /hezh-EE-ruh/, *zh* representing the *s* sound in *pleasure*. incidentally, how many of you pronounce *clandestine* the way joni does in ''don't interrupt the sorrow''? is it the canadian way? wallyK
