[Opinions] Re: Rosamund
in reply to a message by Kate
I always thought it was ROE-zah-mund until I read about people here prn. it with a short 'o' sound. I just assumed Rosa- in Rosamund sounded like Rosa (ROSE-ah) but then again, I knew Rosalind was with a short 'o' (and I do like that prn.). :-/
ETA: The prn. key here at BtN was confusing me, but both Rosamund and Rosalind are listed as having the ROZ sound at the beginning, which according to the key is a long "o" (as in boat and cone). Now I'm really confused. I've never heard Rosalind prn. with a long 'o'. :-\
