I don't actually speak the language, so I wouldn't know which is correct. However, many of my friends have taken some and taught me the pronunciations. Consequently, I have no dictionaries to check in. If it is a long a, then there ought to be a macron over it; if not it is probably short. But, since I have read quite a bit on historical linguistics and proto-western-romance is one of the standard examples, I am able to give reasonable guesses about Spanish forms of these things - and I would guess from actual Spanish forms that it would be a long A, but I really don't know. ------------------------ Yahoo!
