> And I've always pronounced it like gillyweed, even though the picture
in my mind (re: the source of the name) was of the flower. That's what
comes of reading words that you've never heard pronounced. And it's
still the picture I carry around in my internal version of the stories -
not to say anyone else's version is wrong - simply that in _my_ HP
world, it's a drink flavored with gillyflowers, or something resembling
the scent of gillyflowers. :-)

Potioncat:
Me too.
Didn't you say, Zanooda, that this was for a translation? I wouldn't
worry too much about how Engish-speakers pronouce it. Can you come up
with a flowery sounding drink that might also reflect gillyweed?
What will gillyweed be called?
