[hardy-l] Laodicean

[Niemeyer, Paul J.]

O, bless the Internet!  When I was looking for the proper pronunciation of John Buchan's surname for the Spy Literature course I'm teaching, I found the Merriam-Webster online dictionary has an audio pronunciation feature.  Here's how M-W renders it:
 
http://www.merriam-webster.com/cgi-bin/audio.pl?laodic02.wav=Laodicean'
 
Of course, I also found a Bible site with an audio pronunciation, and it was rendered "Lay-odyssey-ah," so I guess it's all relative.
