Odd Question

Post by Oswego John »

I've been looking at several varnishes. For I don't know how many years, there's one varnish that I never knew how to pronounce.

Epifanes.

So what is the correct pronunciation? Accent on the capital letters.

EPP ih fan eez
eh-PIF-ah neez
epah FIN eez

or what? No biggie, just wondering.

In Dutch?

My Dutch friend pronounced it Epee-fon-us, but only when he wanted to sound like a Dutchman. It comes from Epiphany so something close to that is more appropriate when speaking English. It's pretty good stuff in any case.
