Question about Biko

[Guest]

Don't know if any South Africans are aware of this, but Buck from annaC seeds named one of his strains after Stephen Biko the anti-apartheid activist who was severely beaten and then left untreated and neglected till he died.

Several of us are growing this strain, and have decided we just are not gonna grow it unless we know the correct pronunciation of Biko. Well, figured maybe someone in this forum might have the answer. Is it pronounce Bic-oh....Bike-oh, Beek-oh, or Bee-kaw?

Appreciate any feedback

oldpeculiar, made a wav file for you, in zip. Hope that helps, download. I sat here for way to long stoned trying to figure Bic-oh....Bike-oh, Beek-oh, or Bee-kaw? Thats a good gesture for an important man.


"It is better to die for an idea that will live, than to live for an idea that will die." Steve Biko

LOL....can't get that to open for me, thanks anyway.

Biko is to the best of my knowledge, ECSDv.3 x MindBoggle. You can find the details on mind boggle in annac seeds strain guide. I only have a few pics of the 2 Biko I have currently growing, none in flower, but there are quite a few of them in annacs old forum if ya dig around a little.

Bic-oh is probably the closest. The file opens in WMP.

on a side note

I have been walking around all these years pronouncing

Miriam Makeba

as Mak-ay-buh

until a friend from the Cape told me it was

Mak-uh-bay

 

[getafix]

it is bee ko, like a bee that stings and go, with a k

 

[Guest]

you can't use an american pronunciation key because the vowels are not the same. the closest is 'bee-ko', the emphasis goes on the 'bee' and the 'ko' part is like the word 'or' but much quicker and minus the r.
