How do you pronounce Philemon?

[Miss Shelby]

LOL Forest, I was wondering that too!!
My guess is:

O - ness - eee- muss

/o 'nes i mus/

Yep, that is what I think, too.

My copy of Dictionary of the Liturgy, by Father Jovian P. Lang, OFM, states that both "fie-LEE-mun" or "fuh-LEE-mun" are correct.

Onesimus is pronounced "Oh-NEE-see-mus".

 

[InnerPhyre]

Phi - lay - mon

Phi-LEE-Mon

That's how I've heard it. But I don't think I've ever heard it read at Mass.

φιλημονι

Hmm...I've always said it own-ee-sai-muhs

 

[Skripper]

A friend and I were "debating" this yesterday, and I'm wondering what the correct pronunciation is.

file-mon . . . kidding.

 

[Risen Tree]

I usually say "Fuh' LEE mun."

Filet Mignon.
That's a good one.

Thank goodness I'm not a lector. I can just see myself now: "A reading from the book of Filet Mignon."

Oh nice! That's right up there with the book of "Revelations."

You say your omicron's like omega's? I, like most people I've seen, say my omicrons like alphas, and then the pronounciation would be "fil-ey-mahn"
