Hi Carol, I just got a lesson on this last month! According to the natives, it is lee-you-blee-ahna. Cheers, Jan

Jan -- photo finish! But Carol, try to make it 3 syllables, not 5. That's why I wrote "lyoo" instead of "lee-oo," because it should be one syllable, not two.

Thanks. I'll try lyoo/blee/ahna and see the response of the natives.
