In 1997 when I visited with Mr. Silva, who was still the mayor of La Criolla, Entre Rios, Argentina, he pronounced it  La Cri o Ja.  I am told that in Castilian Spanish which the Argentineans speak the LL is pronounced as a "J". ----- Original Message ----- From: Matt Morgan To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 03, 2002 7:38 PM Subject: RE: [meteorite-list] Meteorite pronunciation How about La Criolla? I heard from Eduardo (meteorites.com) say it like "La Crioche". Is that correct or was my hearing messed? Same with Mocs, Gero Kurat from Vienna said "Mocsh". Werid to me.
