<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1898620, member: 26302"]I agree pronunciation is tough. We are in a hobby where many of us can never talk to other collectors much, so we read and "self pronounce" words incorrectly. I have done this a TON Tif, please do not think you are alone. My ancient club was lucky enough to have Kerry from the Celator in and we discussed this very issue informally. Kerry said its even worst since Ammericans tend to pronounce many ancient words differently than Europeans, so its even more confusing than you first thought. I am getting better due to my ancient club, which has some long time famous collectors, along with some authors like Bill Daehn who just wrote the authoritative new book on ancient references, (greek at least), so I am lucky. There are some podcasts of ancient collectors which can help, or go to a good show and talk as much as possible with ancint dealers is my best suggestion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
