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

[Sergey Vasiliev]

Hi All,
Jeff, Thanks for the pointing to Google Translate!
I tired a few Russian names
- Sikhote-Alin (Сихотэ-Алинь):
(http://translate.google.com/#ru|en|%D1%81%D0%B8%D1%85%D0%BE%D1%82%D1%8D-%D0%B0%D0%BB%D0%B8%D0%BD%D1%8C)
- Isheyevo (Ишеево):
(http://translate.google.com/#ru|en|%D0%B8%D1%88%D0%B5%D0%B5%D0%B2%D0%BE)
- And my favorite one: El'gygytgyn (Эльгыгытгын):
(http://translate.google.com/#ru|en|%D0%AD%D0%BB%D1%8C%D0%B3%D1%8B%D0%B3%D1%8B%D1%82%D0%B3%D1%8B%D0%BD)
And I can say that pronunciation is very, very close!
Best regards,
Sergey
