Sorry, H & Eduo, but you are both incorrect. You are confusing church Latin (as spoken in the middle ages) with classical Latin (as spoken in Rome).In classical Latin, there is no consonant V. There is a vowel U which is written exactly like the modern day V.When-E, Weedy, Weekee *is* the correct pronunciation. (unless you're in a medieval church, of course).Whew! Four years of Latin in high school finally paid off! :-) Abusive comment hidden. (Show it anyway.)
