Well, I think you're both wrong, actually. "Legilimency" as the
ability to "read" minds will probably be from the Latin verb "legere"
which means "to read" and you pronunce the "G" in it not like
in "FudGe" but rather as in "AnimaGus". And as in your pronunciations
you both have a syllabe "JILL" (GIL) - you're both wrong:)
cheers,
Portrait_of_Mrs_Black who is always right even if she's wrong;)
