Also, shouldn't we be writing the name amancaës (to indicate a four syllable
word rather than a three syllable word).
Someone in the bulb fraternity taught me years ago to pronounce amancaes
with four syllables. It is apparently Greek, so I vote with Jim McK. on
this. (I'm afraid my vowels are probably not very Greek!)
