pronunciations

[Eric or Pat Metzler]

BTW,

to Ron Gatrell and the others following earlier discussions.  Catocala is
Greek in origin, both the suffix and the prefix, so a knowledge of Latin
with its penultimates and antipenultimates, is of little use.  Cat (o) (a)
means pretty and cala means inferior.  The inferior (hind) wings are pretty,
but in Greek, not Latin.  I suspect that when you met Ed Brower he was
speaking Greek and not Latin. Ed knew what he was doing.  He was a good
friend of mine and I miss him.

Cheers to all where it is stifling hot in Columbus, Ohio
