[COMPLETE] Kéramos and other Poems, by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow - kaz

[pschempf]

I noticed a couple of pronunciations I would have said differently. Ibis was another I recall off the top of my head, but PLers aren't supposed to quibble over pronunciations. You breezed through a bunch that I would have stumbled over.

It seems typical to used the long disclaimer for the first sectiono in a project regardless of its length. I agree with you, I like this version better than the first. My wife was sitting next to me and when you ended, she said, "Very Nice!"

I like my pronunciation corrected, especially on an essay, poem or proper noun. Please tell me how to pronounce Ibis and whatever else you can remember. I'll find and correct it.

Ibis is pronounced with an initial long i and the emphasis on the first syllable, EYE-bis.

Bas relief was another, but you changed it in the second version. I looked it up and apparently either pronunciation is correct (the s pronounced or silent). One reference gave the pronunciation with the s pronounced and then gave two examples using the word in a sentence and both used bah relief. The word is of French origen and perhaps the variation arises from using an English versus a French pronunciation. I go with "bah" relief.

Eye-bis it is. Thank you very much, Fritz. And at long last, this project is finished.

Michael, I have made some changes to the summary. I can't think of any extra keywords to add, and with that said, I think we're ready to go to catalog.

Great! Heading catalogward.
