That landing of the 17th syllable is tricky as well. 5 hours spent searching through this Japanese-to-Klingon dictionary have helped somewhat, but the finer nuances of prog pronunciations still elude me.

Yish.

In somewhat related news, how do you pronounce Phideaux? Is the X silent?

This was all we could really think of, and, rather sadly, we did talk about it at the local. Someone there suggested Clwb Canterbury, as in Clwb Rygbi, i.e. the local rugby (or football etc), but we decided that this did not fit very well, either. One of the strangest things about living down here, and I have been here 17 years now, is just how difficult Welsh language speakers find translating from English to Welsh, and vice versa. It is by far the most difficult I have come across, far more so than most Romantic European languages, because the set up of the Welsh is just so different to ours.

Further to this, my boy & I have just been to the pub for our brunch. There we consulted the local sages, Wyndham and Iori. Basically, they do not think that there is a literal translation, as such, but feel that Golygfa rather than Olygfa is nearer the mark.

Even more helpfully, Ben suggested that Scene Canterbury would be a perfectly adequate way of saying Canterbury Scene in Welsh.

Where else on the intertit would you get a conversation like this, eh?
