Hi Leni,

Can I please request an extension on Book 36?

I have recorded five of my six sections, aiming to edit and upload them all together.

Also do you have any recommendation or preference when it comes to pronouncing words like:

ophites
alabastrites
memphites
spongites

I have been pronouncing them a latin/greek way, saying '-ites' as 'it-ays' instead of the english way like kites, nights or writes. Because they keep coming up in contexts where they are singular rather than plural...

'...some persons speak more particularly in praise of the ophites that is known as "tephrias"...' pg 328 chapter 11
'This stone is called "alabastrites" by some...' pg 329 chapter 12

With plural endings it would be 'the ophites that are known as' and 'These stones are called alabastrites' so the grammar sounds terrible in english if you pronounce it the english way. I have maintained consistency throughout saying 'it-ays' but I don't know if that is good or bad at this point. Or whether it should be 'it-ees'?! Basically I have confused myself and I might have to re-record half of it. Trying to meld english pronunciation with latin/greek vocab is always fun!

Many Thanks,
Emma

Sure, Emma, thanks for letting us know.

As to the pronunciation, we are not picky. The way you are doing it is fine. :) I know, it is quite confusing to mix the Latin/Greek with the English. But consistency is more important.

Hello,

I'll read Section 4.

If that's already assigned by the time you read this, I'll take the next available section.
