When attending a summer school in Oxford , and about to enter Blackwell's
to buy Lampe's tome, I met a patristics scholar who assured me that indeed
the name is pronounced as one syllable.
[ I remember being staggered by the price, but on return trips to Oxford
I found that the price had practically doubled within 2-3 years ]
But what an extraordinary job these lexicographers did with nothing but
file cards -- together with great eyesight, long life, and the ability to
work all the hours of the day that the Lord gave them.
Regards,
Maurice
