   I learned to pronounce the Mares des Cygnes river as mare-da-seen
   with the secondary accent on the first syllable.  I remember
   feeling betrayed in grade school when I realized that the
   Ar-kansas river should be pronounced Arkansas.  
   
   In Colorado there is a town spelled Saguache which is pronounced 
   Sa-watch.
