I always pronounced bonca bonCuh

And I'm pretty sure Smallwood is just like it sounds.

BonCuh? what language do you speak, alienish?

I think the correct way (and the most logic way) to prenounce Bonca is just Bonca.. you know, like Bonkah or Bonckah, or Bonkaa/Bonckaa

:way to prenounce Bonca is just Bonca.. you know, like Bonkah or Bonckah, or Bonkaa/Bonckaa

but bonCa is more likely as a name for an animal

and it sounds better too...

Pronounced BonKa (the c should be as in : cat)it sounds much better and more "realistic". BonCa more likely for the name of an animal? Hardly! It sounds stupid and doesn't feel right.

Nitpick: That's not grammar, that's pronunciation.

I don't see any reason why it would be bonsa. In general, C is only ponounces as S before I, E or Y. Also, I always assumed the bon was ponounced as in bonk, not bon-bon.

Yep.

another aid to memory is:

C before e, o, a is pronounced a K

that makes me a sad panda

: Yep.

: another aid to memory is:

: C before e, o, a is pronounced a K

Not before e, no.. how about these words:

-Cemetary

-Celcius

-Celing

If there are said like Kemetary, Kelcius and Keling, then I have been taught wrong.

: C before e, o, a is pronounced a K

No, it's A, O and U.

: : C before e, o, a is pronounced a K

: No, it's A, O and U.

Yure rught. Twus u tupo.

so is it bonKa or bonSa....

: so is it bonKa  or bonSa....

bonKa

so that makes me a sad panda

: so that makes me a sad panda
