Yes, a lot like "lucy" with an "n" :-) "Lu" as in the German "du" -- then "cene" with the strong "s" as in "bis" or "es" and then an "ien" sound as in "Dienst" that kind of rhymes with "Berlin"

So... i'm from Germany. And the pronunciation of Lucene we use here is like it would be a Frensh word. That means we don't pronounce the "e" in the end of the word. Like the name "lucy" with the add of the "n". Is this the wrong way to pronounce it? How should we do it? :) Bye Derya --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
