[stylist] Vejas pronunciation

[vejas]

No, it's Lithuanian.  It's actually pronounced like a y.
For these of you who don't know, Lithuania is near Russia and 
Poland.
In fact, right now I'm e-mailing you in a house for which I just 
finished a Lithuanian christmas event.

Vejas, Robert and others,

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but is Vejas a Latino name? If so, in 
Spanish,
J's are pronounced as H's, so just pronounce his name with an H 
sound
rather than the J sound JAWS insist on using! LOL

I imagine it should sound more like Veyhas, correct?

Sincerely,
Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter
