After being totally confused, looking at 3 different sets of rules for Latin, speaking to those who know much more then I and those who have spent time in the region....
I will start the ball rolling with Heliamphora related terminology
List has been pre-editied/proofed and with additional input and comments added from C12 and BB, thanks for the help
ki-man-TEN-sis
el-ON-gata or El-on-gata (which I hear a great deal, especially in the UK)
ex-ap-pen-DIC-ulata
fol-LIC-ulata
GLA-bra
het-ERO-doxa or HET-ero-doxa (hard "h")
ION-asi (EYE-ON-ah-see)
his-PID-a (his-PID-ahh) or (HIS-pid-ahh)
MI-nor
neb-LIN-ae (neb-LIN-eye) or neb-LIN-ee
NU-tans
pul-CHEL-la
sar-ra-cen-IO-ides (sar-ra-cen-EYE-OH-eyeds)
AKO-pan
an-GAS-ima (an-GAS-eye-ma) or an-GAS-eema
tes-TEE-gos
TA-tei (TA-tee-eye) or TA-tee-ee (as some in Venezuela say)
Mah-ARU-aka
Tres Testigos are both tepuis and the name of tiny islands off the coast there. There they pronounce it "TESTI-gos" so far as I can tell . . .
Please add your feedback and additions
