Go on Dyan, give us a thrill! And you can also tell us whether your dear friend really does need to use a walking stick. Sounds like he ate out of too many aluminium pots in his youth!

Sorry I can't help with the pronunciation.

I don't usually include pronunciations, partly because my own tongue trips over most of them, but also because half the fun is persuading the word to negotiate your adenoids then leap out and attack the unwary.

However, dasypygal would be pronounced near enough to

dazzi-pidjal

If you want to see the word in active service,
take a look here (www.ugcs.caltech.edu) and enjoy. It is worth the trip. ]:)

Do click on the links on this site though, they will help you understand the overall thrust of the webmaster's muse.:D

Cheers
