[or-roots] Found him

[Kith-n-Kin]

I'd have to ask, but I seem to remember pen'-doe-ray. Why did I think that
it was in Idaho?  Hmmm. Back to the maps.  Anyone on here from 'round there?

BTW, for years I pronounced Penelope as Pe-neh-lope. Heck, that's how it's
spelled.

Good job!

I just got a wild hair and decided to find out how to pronounce "Pend
Oreille" since on the face of it my pronouncing it just the way it's spelled
I suspected was wrong. Wonder if I have ever said that out loud to some one
who knew how to say it?? they probably wondered where I was talking about;
Pawn deh raw with emfasisis on the raw is as close as I can get in print.
Dalkena for those who were waiting with bated breath (bet some of you
thought that was spelled baited didn't you?) is about 45 miles north -
northe east of Spokane on a right ancle bend in the Pend Oreille River.

I guess any language than can pronounce Worcester Wooster shouldn't suprise
me that some thing that looks like two words with a total of at least four
sylables would be pronounced as one word with three.
