That was a typo, I wasn't thinking. "Boreanesia" is /borIniZia/ in my speech in reality, I typed that far to quickly. The /S/ vs /Z/ problem is because I was doing that transcription in my head, and in my head I don't distinguish between voiced & unvoiced consonants. The improperly placed /I/s were just bone-headedness. I pronounce "Asia" /ejSia/, and Indonesia /Indo:niZia/ Of course, those pronouncions based on my typo are really interesting. Well, I'm sorry I decieved you into thinking I was an interesting person, it was really just a typo. ;o) -- Robert
