	Vorpar  +  139899 Tue, 20 Sep 05 11:03 PM Since there generally aren't dictionary entries for surnames, you have to guess at pronounciations. Sometimes you can apply pronounciation rules for similar words, but more often you'll have to know the rules for the origin language. Sometimes the web might have pages with pronounciations, but often not. Feigenbaum sounds German, so the 'ei" is pronounced like the i in 'high'. Figh-gehn-bomb. Gristede might be grihss-teed Vorpar Joined on Tue, Sep 20 2005 Santa Barbara, CA Regular Member 940

Mainly: Feigenbaum and Gristede   Hello Anonymous,   "Feigenbaum" indeed is German and pronounced ['faig@nbaum] (@ like "a" in ago). I don't know where "Gristede" is from, in case it's of German origin, it pronunciation can be ['grist@d@] or [gris'te: d@], if it's of Dutch origin, then it's pronunciation could be something equal to ['Crist@d@]. (C as "ch" in German ich or an overpronounced "h" in English human).   I hope I could help you out, all the best -Pemmican Pemmican Joined on Thu, Aug 21 2003 Regular Member 569 Wâ mag ich mich nu vinden? wâ mac ich mich nu suochen, wâ? nu bin ich hie und bin ouch dâ und enbin doch weder dâ noch hie. wer wart ouch sus verirret ie? wer wart ie sus...
