Re: Principia

It depends on the school of Latin pronunciation you wish to use - we have
no recordings of ancient Roman speech.

I would use the Italian pronunciation "prin- CHI- pi-a" (The CHI is as in
chicken.)

We're covering gravity & we're having a debate.
Is principia pronounced "prinKipia" or" prinSipia"?
