Ahoy me mates in OZ, I have a question for you.

Elisa and I, while enjoying a delicious home cooked dinner of wild king
salmon and a fine bottle of New Zealand Nautilus chardonay, watched a
Discovery Channel special from OZ on cephlopods.  Of course the infamous
blue ring, terror of the deep, was a feature.  :-)

All thoughout the program, the Ozzie host pronounced the invertebrate
cephlapods as 'kef-lopods' with a hard 'K' sound.  I've always heard it
pronounced with a soft 'C' sound as in 'seph-lopod'.  Is the 'Kef-lopod'
pronounciation common in Oz?

Inquiring minds want to know!  :-)

Best regards,
Russ
