RE: Seitaad: A New Sauropodomorph from the Navajo Sandstone
In response to my concern over pronounciation, Rebecca Hunt-Foster sent me a
message (forwarding with permission):
"The name Seitaad ruessi is pronounced SAY-eet-AWD ROO-ess-EYE. It was in the
press release."
I had not read the press release, so this is another of those interesting and
culturally-crossing names, and am quite appreciative of it, even if the native
Navajo spelling is foreign.
Cheers,
Jaime A. Headden
