Oh, and while you're all thinking about those books that visitors write their comments in, is it

[seeker]

beh-HEH-moth or BEH-heh-moth?

Gah - I am rubbish at pronunciation, just adequate at spelling and grammar.

Could you also enlighten me - I'm struggling to find the connection?

I've always pronounced as beh-HEE-muth and am now prepared to be flayed alive

The second one I think.

As a general rule in the UK we stress the first syllable (clary wonders if she is setting herself up for a fall here)

There isn't a connection - just my two pedantic problems of the day! I always say BEH-heh-moth, with the stress at the beginning, but Ive heard it with the stress in the middle twice this week on Radio 4 so I was doubting myself!

Always stressed the middle syllable.

Which word are you trying to pronounce? I've tried saying them both out loud and am none the wiser!

Be HE moth.

What is that word??

Also asking - What is the word?

The word is "behemoth". It means a huge thing, technically an animal, I think.

"OMG, that rugby player's a behemoth!"

I'd never come across behemoth being used in relation to anything living, but (probably from sci-fi, such as 2001) as regarding some massive object...

From ask.reference.com:

1. an animal, perhaps the hippopotamus, mentioned in Job 40:15?24.

1. any creature or thing of monstrous size or power: The army's new tank is a behemoth. The cartel is a behemoth small business owners fear.

First syllable stressed here.
