Is there a concensus on how it's pronounced? I'm torn between 'Kal-Kaneum' and 
'Kalsa-Neum' (as 
in 'calcium'). Excuse the pseudophonetics.

I've never been sure exactly which syllable to emphasise in 'astragalus' 
either. Is it 'Astra-Galus' 
or 'Astrag-Alus'?

Should I just avoid mentioning the lower hind limbs entirely? :-)
