Help[Opinions] Re: Ginevra?
in reply to a message by Bear
I honestly have no idea how this name is pron & I didn't find it in BtN. My instinctive thought would be something like zhe-NEH-vra (don't know how to write out that sound that is a combo of SH and J and Z and whatever), but is it an EE sound in the middle? Am I completely off? Thanks in advance for any clarification you can give.

Gi-NEV-ra. It sounds like you're going to say gin, like the alcohol, but the N becomes part of the stressed NEV, followed by a simple -ra.
