[meteorite-list] How do you pronounce...

[Jeff Kuyken]

Hi Paul,

The second one is right for Huckitta. (Huck-i-tuh) Actually I have found 
that if you use Google Translate you will get a "close approximation" for 
most of the Aussie names. It can actually pull off Millbillillie believe it 
or not! ;-)

Just type the name in the first box, select the native language and hit the 
speaker icon.

Cheers,

Jeff
