Just a heads up (erroneous pronunciation)

Hey, I've been glad to see you adding more of your pronunciations. They are a great contribution!

I just wanted to let you know that your pronunciation on "agape" (listed under etymology two) is incorrect.

"agape" (etymology two) is /ɑˈɡɑː.peɪ/ (or /əˈɡɑː.peɪ/ if you want to more anglicise it), not /əˈɡeɪp/. The word is meant to be pronounced as if it were written agapé. It is a borrowing of a Greek word that means "brotherly love". I only really know much about it myself because I'm a Catholic, and we sometimes use it in discussion (when we talk about the "four loves") when using the English word "love" alone is too vague or too inaccurate.

Thank you for your kind words.

Are we talking about agape? I have just moved my pronunciation to the 'Etymology 1' section - is everything ok now?

Since January when I made the initial edit the code has changed so that it is unlikely I would make this mistake again.

Having said that, any review of my work is welcome.

Regards

Yes, problem solved.

I may upload a pronunciation for agape (agapé) myself later, as for those who both cannot read IPA and also do not know the word, the pronunciation is far from obvious.

Thanks much for the speedy reply, and keep up the good work!

An IP has also removed your brosephine pronunciation, correctly, I think: it's supposed to rhyme with Josephine, so the final vowel should be /iː/ not /aɪ/.

I also just noticed that I said agape meant "brotherly love", when I had meant to say that it meant "sacrificial love". I somehow never corrected that.

Thanks for letting my know, I agree also.

Could you request that the "bad" audio file be deleted? Otherwise there's a risk that somebody will add it to the entry again in the future, thinking they are being helpful. Thanks!
