I'll say! I had to feed the above text into the X-SAMPA translator[1] just to make any sense of it at all, and I am still hopelessly lost as to how in the heck that is pronounced. Too bad there's not an IPA-to-speech program. That would be really great! :Peter [1] http://odur.let.rug.nl/~kleiweg/sampa/translate.html -- Oh what a tangled web they weave who try a new word to conceive!
