Lorentz.
Do you think it is said:
Lorentz (ie with a 'z' sound), or
Lorents (ie with an 's' sound)
The answer determines whether I give it an ' or an 's when used in the possessive form.
Lorentz is a Dutch name (in this context). I've had an inconclusive google. Any Dutch speakers who also happen to be pedants?
Any help welcome!
