Tenchusatsu, Itanium, strange, sounds like the source is the same as Timna. "Itanu" (the I sound being like the vowel in "See"), means "with us", but "eitan" means "strong" or "strong to the core", I would guess the pronunciation would be like the beginning of "Abraham", the first vowel being the "a" in "Gate", and the second vowel like the a in "tap". My guess would be that this is the correct pronunciation, guessing of course that the name was sourced in Israel (like Timna was, the name of the old Solomon copper mines). Zeev
