Are you sure it's not N'al-G-ehnie?

Trailboss is correct. Next questions:
How do you pronounce Katadyn? (the water filters)
How do you pronounce Leki? (the trekking poles)
How do you pronounce Deuter? (the packs)
How do you pronounce Thorlo? (the socks?)

Leee--key.
Thor---low (like "thorn")
I assume that the water filters are named after the mountain...although it appears to be spelled different.

I've heard it a couple of ways - I don't think the company has anything to do with the mountain though, so it the pronounciation is the same, it's coincidental.

I think Katadyn wants to be pronounced KAT-uh-dine, but the way I always hear (and say) it is kuh-TA-din.
Deuter is DO(r)Y-ter- gotta get that german oomlot-type R in there.
Thorlo is just like it's spelled- THOR-low.
At least, those are my stories, and I'm sticking to them.

How about "Giro"? Hard or soft G?
And "Yakima"? Is the accent on the "Ya" or the "ki"?
