[meteorite-list] Tatahouine - Pronounciation & MOH Hardness?

2003-03-02 Thread Jeff Kuyken 



G'day List,
 
Hopefully someone may be able to help me out with 
this one. Does anyone know where Tatahouine ranks on the MOH Hardness scale? (Or 
if it has even been tested this way?)
 
I was also curious with it's pronounciation. Like 
so many meteorite names, you ASSUME, but are you correct? ;-)
 
I would think:
 
tatar-who-eye-n
 
or
 
tatar-who-ene
 
Or something to that effect. Like I said; 
assumption! ;-) Maybe one of the dealers out there may have been 
there?
 
Thanks in advance,

Hi Anne, Jeff and list
 
It is by no accident that Luke Skywalker lives on Tatahouine. 
Lucas borrowed the name from that town because they shot the Tatahouine scenes 
near there. So, I would suspect that the pronounciation in the movie would be 
very close to the actual pronounciation if not exact.

You are quite right Mark. That is where a lot of the exterior scenes of the Star Wars movies were filmed. 
It is really a small dusty market town, but it has a very nice hotel with a swimming pool!  If you want to see a picture I took there a few years ago, go to:

As for the pronounciation, I think I will go with the simplest:
   TA TA  WEEN ,   all syllables pretty much equal.

I had always mentally pronounced it like the Star Wars planet "Tatooine", 
with an extra "ta" in the appropriate spot.  Hmmm... wonder if George L. 
knew about this fall? :-)
