You don't need any advice on that; that's the way of it! (except, perhaps, that "kh" might arguably be the more guttural version rather than pronouncing the "k" as a "k" and leaving the "h" silent)...Last edited by ferneyhoughgeliebte; 01-03-18, 15:20.[FONT=Comic Sans MS][I][B]Numquam Satis![/B][/I][/FONT]

Clavicembalisticum isn’t there either, though Latin being more customary in these parts than Hindi, I can probably pronounce it. Actually listening to the entire Opus is of course far more challenging.
