Re: Pronouncing "Boreanesia" (was: Kristian's name)

I don't have any preference for what's the correct pronounciation
of Boreanesia. In fact, all of the posted pronounciations are perfectly
acceptable to my ear though not necessarily to my tongue. I myself have
two ways of pronouncing it in English -- the fast to the slow. When
skimming through my own posts quickly I tend to read in my mind [bOr@'nijZ@].
When reading a bit more slowly, I say [bOrE'nijZ@]. All the unstressed vowels
are pronounced as lax vowels. The <ea> sequence gets reduced to [@] or [E]
depending on the speed. I have always found that pronouncing <ea> as a
diphthong or a sequence of two vowels as too... what's to say... long for my
tongue. Its easier on my tongue just to pronounce <ea> as one vowel.
