<font color="0077aa"><font face="verdana,arial,helvetica"> How is Taricha pronounced?

I hope this is the right place for this thread. I didn't really think it was a "help" question. Sorry moderators, if this isn't in the right place...

Is it TarEEka or TarEYEka ????????

I can't find a dictionary with the pronunciation.

Also, is it anAHHHcharis, or anACKaris?? for anacharis.

Thanks bunches!</font></font>

No kiddin' Pin-pin!

But, for anacharis, I have close friends who own a greenhouse (wholesale). They raise various water plants. They pronounce this word as ANN ACK ARISS.

As for Taricha, the correct pronunciation probably rhymes with "eureka",--so I would say that Nate has it right. Although I'll admit, I have been pronouncing it as TARE ICK KAH.
