Name

I pronounce my last name [ˌmɛləˈnɑski] (me-luh-NAH-skee, if you like an English-dictionary-style transcription), although I view [ˌmæləˈnɑski] (ma-luh-NAH-skee) as an acceptable spelling pronunciation. Please do not pronounce the penultimate syllable with the MOUTH vowel (e.g., [ˌmæləˈna͡ʊski] ma-luh-NOU-ski).
