  OK - but 'Yee' differs from the &quot;Jee&quot; suggested in the
Wikipedia entry!

So there seem to be *three* alternatiive pronunciations in the air.

Well, different languages have different ways of saying things, so
does it really matter?
   &quot;Paris&quot; in the UK sounds different from 'Paris' in  France.
Vive la difference....
