etc.&nbsp; I printed out some material from MSN.Encarta.&nbsp; And in
my reading came across this word &quot;Pseudepigrapha&quot;.&nbsp; I
have the meaning, but do not know the correct way to pronounce
same.&nbsp; I would like some help so I can read it properly same to
my class on Sunday.&nbsp; I am pronouncing it as su di pi grafa, I
know I am probably not even close, but would appreciate any
input.&nbsp; Thank you in advance for your
assistance.</font></blockquote>

<div>Tastes may differ on phonetic transcription, but I'd alter your
scheme slightly to &quot;SU-DE-PI'GRA-FA&quot; (DE rather than DI) --
putting a major accent on the syllable PI and a weaker secondary
accent on the initial SU.</div>
