Actually, the correct spelling has an eth (a D with a cross bar), so both Skadi and Skathi are approximations. Pronunciation [SKAH-dhee] (with [dh] representing the th of English this).
- I'm not going through all this again - I contacted the organisation within the International Astronomical Union responsible for the naming of objects in our solar system and got responses from *two* of them to indicate that Skathi was the accepted and recognised name for this body. If you feel the need to do further independant research, then knock yourself out. Zaphod Beeblebrox 11:39, 30 Jul 2004 (UTC)
I shouldn't've used the word "correct". I meant the original orthography. "Skathi" is preferable to "Skadi" as the English transliteration, so I'm glad the IAU changed it.
