Hi Tom, Jay and List,

I posted a message to Meteorite Central about this very issue
(pronunciation) last year, but no one decided to bite at the
time. (I had asked about Ghubara). As for Allende, I've
always pronounced it: Ah-yen'-day. How 'bout Sikhote-Alin?
My guess has been: Si-ko'-tay Al-in'... --Rob

I need some help too. Maybe one of you willing to make us few lists with
names and pronuncations. Maybe many of us may realize that we spoke those
word incorrect way.
