Haiku Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 I sat "daw-LARE." That's how our librarians pronounce it. Tara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greta Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 I have a bit of a background in French, so I actually had that one right. Good to know! :D BUT, does anyone know how to pronounce Ecce Romani? Well, the Romani part I get. But how does one say "ecce"? I have no experience with Latin, I'm learning it alongside my dd. The pronunciation guide in the front of our book does not say anything about what to do with two c's in a row! I'm thinking of buying this program, but it's rather embarassing not even knowing how to say it! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corraleno Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 "Doe-lair" is the correct pronunciation. The name is French (although it's usually "de Saint Aulaire" not D'Aulaire) and "au" in French is pronounced like a long "o": faux (foe), plateau (pla-toe), chauffeur (sho-fur), etc. Edgar D'Aulaire's mother's maiden name was actually Auler, but she "europeanized" it to D'Aulaire when she moved to Paris. Edgar decided to use his mother's maiden name as his last name, and his father's surname (Parin) as his middle name. Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I had it! I wasn't sure if D'Aulaire was French though. You should here people butcher my middle names! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
