Well, I for one am going to keep pronouncing it keefur ;) I think we should

revolt and make that the new pronunciation.

" What can one say of a soul, of a heart, filled with compassion? It is a

heart which burns with love for every creature: for human beings, birds, and

animals, for serpents and for demons. The thought of them and the sight of

them make the tears of the saint flow. And this immense and intense

compassion, which flows from the heart of the saints, makes them unable to

bear the sight of the smallest, most insignificant wound in any creature.

Thus they pray ceaselessly, with tears, even for animals, for enemies of the

truth, and for those who do them wrong. "

--Saint Isaac the Syrian

----------->haha! you too, eh? oh, and i forgot to mention that it's a

*rolling* " r " kind of like the hebrew " resh " that comes at the end of a

word. or at least dom's pronunciation sounded that way to me. which makes it

that much more different than the pronunciation that rhymes with " reefer. "

Hmmm, my own deeply ingrained mispronunciation rhymes with heifer.

Now *that's* probably some kind of weird midwestern thing...combined,

of course, with the fact that I can't think of any similar spellings

that result in a word that rhymes with reefer. ;-)
