[Opinions] Re: Pelagia and Larisa
in reply to a message by ari.
I don't think that "pə-LAY-jee-ə" would be a mispronunciation when one is speaking English. The normal English pronunciation of Pelagius uses "LAY", so the normal English pronunciation of Pelagia should also use "LAY". Since this is a Latin form, the Polish and English pronunciations do not have to be the same,

Oh, I didn't know that. I thought the English for Pelagius and Pelagia was "a" as in "atom".
(And apparently Pelagiya in Russian uses something like "uh"?)
