We're covering gravity & we're having a debate.
Is principia pronounced "prinKipia" or" prinSipia"?
I think it depends whether you are speaking Latin or English.
In Latin 'C' is pronounced as a 'K' as in 'Kaiser' for Caeser.
I think this is true for all C's
So it is usually "prinKipia".
Personally I don't think it matters. Just be consistent.
"PrinKipia mathematiKa" or "PrinSipia MathematiSa" :-|
