Hi, I've recorded my sections, but stumbled upon this: τὸ πᾶν
I have no idea how to say it or what language it is, help?

Kristin, Rapunzelina put me onto Google translate for short Greek passages like that. I just tried it and the expression is translated as "everything". It is transliterated as "tó pán".

Best,

If you translate from Greek to Greek you can click on a loudspeaker icon to have a Greek voice read it to you.

Yeah, I did that too, but I wanted to check. I'll try to say it how google translate does, as it sounds nothing like "tó pán".

There is a site howjsay.com for English pronunciation and I believe you can go to howjsaygreek or whatever language you are looking for, for short words or phrases like that. Of course, that does mean you have to know what language you are looking for

Once you get a general idea of what it should sound like, just say it with conviction, and chances are no one will query it (I've managed all manner of languages that way).

It has that worrying extra syllable...

It's early morning here, and I misread Lynnet's sig as "Pronunciation is the thief of time".

Maybe mispronunciation?

The only edit needed is to the file name. I'm marking it as "see PL notes" but there's nothing from the reading itself that needs updated.
