According to wikipedia "n in nigh" "long 'i' in bide" "long 'o' in bode".

I will admit I did not have the patients to read the hieroglyph things in wikepedia, so thank you. They seem so different than the pronunciation guides in dictionaries when I was growing up.

ION, whining: I had emergency dental work today. I cracked a tooth last week, and had it removed today. I've never been through this before, I hate the feeling of the gauze in my mouth, and I'm paranoid I'll do something wrong with the aftercare. WHINING.

All you have to do is hover, and it tells you how they're pronounced.

Good luck, msbelle!!

Huh. The one Ngaio I ever actually met pronounced it Nnn-GUY-oh.

Good to know. I clicked the link and it took me to a huge translation table.

Sending job~ma to msbelle.

I am tired. Didn't get me requisite coffee at lunch.

You'll heal fine. Just follow their instructions and enjoy the narcotics. (I know, I loathe the gauze feeling too.) And call them if you have questions. They are likely more than used to it and you won't spiral stress.

Timelies all!

Got back from GAFilk last night, and have now caught up. Con was good. Much music was heard, many people were hugged, and I bought books and earrings.

I am one big ball of grinding ache and I resent the hell out of it. Plus tomorrow is going to suck. I have to be in early to get a ball rolling, then be there late to wrap things up. With a dentist visit in the middle at the worst possible time (unless there is a cancellation and can squeeze me in earlier.) I made the appt late in the day so I could go home from there. Of course, this stupid installation had to end up landing on that day.

CRANK.
