Help[Opinions] Re: Aglaia and Xenia
in reply to a message by Bear
I was pronouncing Aglaia as "ah-GL-EYE-ah"/"ah-GLAI-ah"... I am not sure if I've ever heard it pronounced before-- only I've seen it in print!
I think from what I can find about Xenia in Greek, the modern Greek pronunciation would be the same as the Russian.
When I looked up info about the Greek letter Xi (uppercase Ξ, lowercase ξ), Wikipedia states, "It is pronounced [ksi] in Modern Greek, and generally pronounced /ˈsaɪ/ (UK) or /ˈzaɪ/ (US) in English." I don't know how that makes sense!!
