RE: [ai-geostats] matter of pronunciation
Well, well. I didn't expect to start such a tempest with my question! Since I have a last name that many seem to mispronounce (using a long "o" as in "glow" instead of the proper short "o" as in "love"), I should have asked how D. Krige pronounced his last name. I appreciate everyone's information, opinion, and speculation on this. Tim Glover Senior Environmental Scientist - Geochemistry Geoenvironmental Department MACTEC Engineering and Consulting, Inc.

[ai-geostats] matter of pronunciation
Colin As a personal style, I tend to use a capital when referring to (say) Ordinary Kriging, Indicator Kriging and so on and a small letter when used as a noun or verb: "the area was kriged" Isobel http://uk.geocities.com/drisobelclark * By using the ai-geostats mailing list you agree to follow its rules ( see http://www.ai-geostats.org/help_ai-geostats.htm ) * To unsubscribe to ai-geostats, send the following in the subject or in the body (plain text format) of an email message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Signoff ai-geostats

Hello Colin: See: Geostatistical Glossary and Multilingual Dictionary Edited by Ricardo A. Olea.

In reports, should kriging, kriged, and krige be written with an uppercase K, or lowercase as shown here?

If you want to be pedantic, the technique was not named "kriging" by Matheron but "krigeage" - a attempt to turn "krige" into a noun. This is pronounced with a very soft 'g' almost a 'sh' sound. Most of the other 'foreign' versions use a hard 'g': krigaggio, krigovanie kriggage (quebecois) and so on. Almost everyone I know use the short 'i' as in pig.
