Thank you David, the same goes back to you.

By the way, in the Netherlands it is written as: Channoekah. Interesting to see it is entirely different in English. Is it also pronounced otherwise? With an H at the beginning?

Kind regards, Pascal.

Thank you, David.  And many good wishes for the holidays to you as well.

Yes, it generally is.  We don't have the fricative in English, and many of us find it difficult to pronounce--it often comes out as a hard "K" sound instead of the softer "Ch".

Sorta like the difficulty that other speakers have with the English "Th", I suppose.

Best,

George
