Which is literally "The Without-Inflections Greek", or TWIG.  The
wordlike initialisms just keep coming. :)
But the question is, how do you pronounce TAKE?  I've been mentally
pronouncing EAK as the separated letters, something like [i:.ei.kei]
IML.  Should TAKE be similarly pronounced T-A-K-E?  Or as the English
word "take"?  Or ['ta.ke]?  Or even ['ta.ke:], as in George? :)
