Daniel Johnsonossobuffo@triangletoot.partyJul 4, 2026, 12:19 PM@CommonMugwort I don’t think I ever heard the word spoken aloud until adulthood. It’s entirely possible I’ve still never heard it; only read it (most notable in The Graveyard Book).

@ossobuffo It’s possible I’m projecting the Greek pronunciation onto my American childhood.
It’s true I wouldn’t have heard it often, if at all.
