>>11801048>>11801780Euclid too but technically pronouncing all these with "you" is wrong too. They all come from greek and eu is pronounced "ev" or "ef" in greek. The rule is if the next letter is k, p, t, ch, ph, th, s, x, ps it is pronounced "ef", if it is b, g, d, z, l, m, n, r or a vowel it is "ev". So the correct pronounciations are:
>Evrope>Efphoria>Evreka>Efclides>EvdoxusHowever the city of Eureka is corectly pronounced "yooreka" because thats how the original settlers called it (english pronounciation of the greek expression) and thats how everyone has been calling it ever since. Keep in mind that ancient pronounciation could be somewhat different and if it comes from german it's pronounced "oi". But all this is too much so the alternative is to pronounce everything as "yoo".
