I keep finding stuff like this that includes plausible argument (including some from Hebrew and Greek sources) for something approximating what I used: http://www.catholic-forum.com/forums/showthread.php?9276-Pronunciation-of-Elisha<br /><br />In Hebrew, Elijah is pronounced a bit like "ayy lee yah who"; since Elisha is Elijah's kid it should be the same "Eli" as that - if I'm right about this, then it must be either the "sha" or...maybe a syllable emphasis thing? Please help me out here - I like this song, hope to put a version of it on my next album so if there IS a definitively better way to say the name than how I did I'd like to fix it in the studio version.

There are at least three ways to say it and in a biblical context it appears the long "i" Is the more common of the three but by no means the only option. So my guess is that Rachel's preferred version is eh-LYE-sha, not eh-LEE-sha.<br /><br />I'm a little bummed that something so trivial to fix seems to have knocked me out of the competition.<br /><br />I get that Elisha and Elijah are supposed to use similar sounds but even still...Glenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14661650090485723755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5260501053118933495.post-34627216697820345432016-02-28T00:34:07.399-05:002016-02-28T00:34:07.399-05:00On behalf of Glen Raphael:
