After reading Don Baccus's note, I take it back. Don suggests a different
way to stress the syllables of "lazuli" (different from the dictionary,
BTW, Don), so there aren't eight equally good pronunciations--there are
16! But I'm glad Don said what I didn't say--the best reply is some
version of "---- off!" [Oooh, oooh--a little hummer just tried to stick
his nose in my window and then flew off!]
