The number of answers seemed endless. For this reason, we had a little fun during our 2nd Consortium Meeting (see above) and decided that we would like to make a video. The intent behind it was to see just how many pronunciations we could come up with. Our diverse consortium of 11 partners didn’t disappoint.

This baffled us even further as to determining which pronunciation was correct.
