ACHILLES, the name of a legendary Greek hero who did great deeds at the siege of Troy and otherwise. As we know, his name is pronounced ACK-KILL-EASE. The CH in that and many other words of Greek ancestry (Christ, orchestra) is pronounced like the English K. My great great grandfather, however, was Achille (AH-SHEAL) Chiniquy. Definitely, CH as in "chiffon" and no S !!! Thanks for your comments. This stuff is always fun! Best regards, Ginny
