I've always wondered what the proper pronunciation was for various Rhac related terms. I would like to see how everyone else pronounces them:

1) Terre: i say it was "ter-ray"

2) Chahoua: i say it as "cuh-who-uh"

3) Auriculatus: i say it as "aric-yul-aw-tus"

4) Ciliatus: i say it is "silly-aw-tus"

5) Leachianus: i say it as "leech-e-aw-nus"

6) Sarasinorum: i say it as "sarah-suh-nor-um"

I think that's about all of them, I could be way off for all I know. I would like to see what everyone else has to say about it though!

I go with all except "terre". There is no accent in the final e, forcing the pronounciation to be "t-air" (like tear)
