There are many meteorites with names that may be foreign to many of us.
I have often wondered just how they are actually pronounced...
L'aigle... just how do you say it?

Some years ago I started a page on meteorite pronunciations. The
only ones I did were L'aigle and Orgueil.

I believe one of our list members from Poland put up a page with
Polish pronunciations, and someone else presented a page with some
other French meteorites.
There are some U.S. meteorites that would benefit from having their
pronunciations presented too: Willamette and Saint Augustine, Benld, etc.
This might be a worthy project for the IMCA to sponsor. An IMCA page
of meteorite pronunciations would be a useful resource.
