Could someone please tell me the pronunciation of samhain? Thank you very much. Barbara

Barbara:

sa-whin. The a in sa should rhyme with the a in "a-ha!" there is a slight "wh" as in "who" and then win. The phonetic I gave was an effort to try and run this all together.

Incidentally, Samhain means the month of November as well as well as the beginning of the new year in the old tradition.

Don, thank you very much! I'm practicing saying it. Is the emphasis on the WH part? The second syllable, in other words? Barbara
