According to the ISODE 5.0 manual the pronounciation of "quipu" is kwip-ooo Now if quipu is named after the devices the Incas used to use then according to my understanding the pronounciation should be more like kip-ooo In Spanish the "qu" is said more like the hard "k" in english not "kw" Having actually seen a real Inca quipu I was a bit suprised to hear it pronounced "kwip-ooo" John McQueen ________________________________________________________________________ John Scott McQueen | gopher@extro.ucc.su.oz.au University Computing Service, H08 | Phone: +61 2 6923495 University of Sydney, NSW 2006, Australia | FAX: +61 2 6606557
