There was a thread a while back that traced Arcoscephale to its Greek origins. And I think it was agreed it should be pronounced

Arkos-ke-falley

(ok, hard to explain in written form...)


edit:

Quote:

Actually I think it's 'Arcoscephale', but who's to argue about a single 'c' . I remember it because 'cephale' is the greek word for 'head', so 'Arco's head' is Arcoscephale.

I usually pronounce it Ar-kohs-kef-ah-ley

and

Quote:

"Cephale" is indeed Greek for "Head": In Greek, the "c" sound is pronounced as a "k". The "s" sound for a "ce" is a more recent product.

As Arco is intended to be, well, Greek, it seems reasonable that it should be pronounced in a Greek manner.
