Jaicen Posted May 2, 2006 Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 I think I can say with a fair degree of certainty that the word is prononced in the french vernacular, since it is of french origin this makes a lot of sese ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stryd_one Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 It might have been French once, but not any more![French, from Old French, drum, clapperless bell, probably from Medieval Greek *timbanon, drum, from Greek tumpanon, kettledrum.]Maybe we should say it with a Greek accent? ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
