[Magdalen] the sound of words

[Molly Wolf]

I love the four-syllable Mi'kmaq place names that always remind me of rolling downhill and landing with a bump:  Tatamagouche, Shinimicas, Antigonish, and the like.  But my personal faves are the two national parks in (respectively) Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, Kejimkujik and Kouchibouguac, correctly, if implausibly, pronounced KEDgie-m'-KOO-gee and KOO-gee-ma-QUACK.
