Finsceal Beo (Pronunciation)
 
Anyone know how to pronounce the european champion Finsceal Beo's name? I bring it up because of the Mr. Greeley yearling that brought $2M+ at the saratoga sale and I keep hearing different pronunciations. Thanks.

Over here it is either pronounced

Fin-scale beo (as in underarm smell :D )

or

Fin-Scale Bo

or

Fin-shell Beo


As far as i know they're the only different pronounciations that i have heard. How have you heard her name pronounced?

NoChanceToDance 08-08-2007 05:45 PM

As far as i'm concerned, i think Fin-scale Beo is the right way to say her name.

it's pronounced--

living legend (lol that's the english translation)

seriously, haven't a clue...

Brockguy should know

I've heard

Fin-seal BEE oh

Have no idea if that's accurate or not.

I've never heard "fin-seal", but i don't think anyone really knows the right way to say it.

Here's a question:

If "Cherokee", is pronounced, "Chair-oh-KEY",

why is "Chelokee" not pronounced, "Cello-KEY"? (cello like the instrument) instead of "Che-LOW-key?"

If a gambler falls in a forest, does anybody hear it?

Fin-C-al Bay-o.....that's my guess!

brockguy 08-09-2007 10:21 AM

the proper spelling of the horse is Finscéal Beo. The fada on the e elongates the word (or something of that effect!).
I'd say it FIN SCEEAL BEO and the last word is said quite quickly making it just one syllable..

Yeah...like I said!:)
