PRONOUNCE IT!
•TONGUE-TWISTER FROM WALES.
New York, Oct. 10.
Pursers, passport officers, and printers were disconcerted by the arrival of a steamship passenger here who gave her home address as gwyngyllgogerychwyrndropwyllllandysiliogogogoch.” There is such a place, though practical map-makers irreverently label it briefly “Llanfairpwllgwyngyll,” or even merely “Llanfair P.G.” The name means “Church of St. Mary in a hollow of white hazel, near to a rapid whirlpool and to St. Tysilio’s Church, near to a red cave.”
