SAY IT SLOWLY
One day I accompanied my husband to the Pima Indian Reservation and strolled around looking at the scenery while he repaired a tractor. To my amazement I found a stone used for grinding corn. I interrupted an Indian man busy at work and asked him, “Can you tell me what they call this? And say it slowly so I can pronounce it.” The man wiped his hands, took the grinder from my hands, and said, “Raaaoccck. Is that slow enough?” From Irma Hall, Coolidge, Arizona, Arizona Highways, October 1992, pg. 50
