You mean "it are", don't you? ;-). Next you'll be telling me Llewellyn is pronounced "Lou-Ellen". OK, maybe I was wrong. I checked the OED, and apparently the Spanish pronunciation is not the standard English pronunciation. --146.232.65.7 12:39, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
Plural (Italian)[edit]
In Italian, the plural of "lama" (the animal, i.e. Etymology 3) is "lama", not "lami", cf. e.g. https://www.treccani.it/vocabolario/lama4/. 80.109.85.113 17:24, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
