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. Andrew K.

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?
