Re: [lace] Pronounciation of "lacis"
Most of the people I've talked to in the US say the word 'lacis' is of French origin and should be pronounced LAH (as in 'do-re-mi-fa-sol-la-ti-do) SEE (as in 'I see you'). But most of those same people generally say LAY ('lay down on the bed') SEAS (the plural of 'oceans') when talking about the store. Robin P.

Re: [lace] Pronounciation of "lacis"
Being very much American and having taught our form of primary grammar, using our grammatical rules I say LAY sis. However, I have several friends who insist it is pronounced luh CEASE. That is more like the French way except they don't drop the last S. In our basic rules, a vowel has a long sound if followed by one consonant and another vowel. That other vowel does not have to be an E. The E is most common at the end of a word but in the middle any vowel functions the same. On the other hand, proper names of things can be spelled and pronounced in ways that are contrary to normal grammatical rules. I have never been to the LACIS store and don't know how they pronounce their store name. Alice in Oregon -- where my new kitchen and bathroom are done except two door handles and final inspection.

Dear David, Vowel-consonant-vowel, first vowel long, works with any second vowel. As with hop-hope, not-note, medium, consonant, accommodate, etc. Frequently an 'e' but not always. It is the explanation for many double consonants. And, it doesn't always work, if I work with American pronunciations. (just look at that last word, works for everything except the 'u'.) The second 'i' makes the 'c' soft. If you want a hard 'c' you have to use 'a', 'o' or 'u.' See, e.g., "courageous."

Unsure what you mean in your first question, but some words definitely can have a different pronunciation, not merely the difference in accent, depending on whether they are UK or American. Don't know if this word is one of those, as I've only seen it written. I must say, I was referring to the company and museum in California.
