Sorry James, I'm clueless in Gaza...
OH all right, enough with bad puns. Gaza is a city in Palestine pronounced
Gah-za. This would also be the classical Latin pronunciation. The British
Latin pronunciation might be Gay-za. To those who might pronounce it Gazz-a
with a short A, I would like to point out that the word has only one Z, and
that the Romans didn't end syllables with Z. But please, all of you, don't
let me stop you from pronouncing the word any way that you like. It's one
of the joys of email that I don't have to hear anyone murdering the
beautiful classical languages.

Subject: A deep dwelling pearly top shell, a gaza
Dear all, did anyone get my message? I asked if anyone
knew how many species of the genus Gaza there are and
what species are easiest to obtain. Does anyone also know if
Gaza sericata is a nice species? Does anyone have a specimen for
sale? Gaza's tend to get lots of "ooohs" and "ahhs" in the collection,
so I am looking for some nice specimens. I asked this question too,
but i'm not sure everyone got it either. How do you pronounce "gaza"?
Is it pronounced Gay-za or Ga-za?
Thanks,
Kind Regards James
