i was told how to pronounce 'nakhchivan' recently
― halber mensch halber keks (imago), Wednesday, 16 April 2014 17:34 (ten years ago) link
can remember having an argument with my latin teacher about that etymology when i was about 13, he vociferously argued against the onomatopoeic root
― Little Saint Hugh of Lincoln (nakhchivan), Wednesday, 16 April 2014 17:34 (ten years ago) link
how should one pronounce it then? xp
― Little Saint Hugh of Lincoln (nakhchivan), Wednesday, 16 April 2014 17:35 (ten years ago) link
na-ker-hee-chee-van, basically - two extra syllables where you don't rly expect them

no, but it was an englishman of about 60 years whom i know well, and who happens to be genuinely knowledgeable about indo-european history & cultures
essentially i respect everything he says, and there is a small handful of people i would say this about - he might be one of 2 or 3 individuals perhaps
