I've noticed a few errors in Pennington's CDs like that. But what drives me
nuts is his pronouncing omicron the same as alpha. For example, his LOGOS
sounds to me like LAGAS, where the "A" is the typical American pronunciation
of the "a" in "father". I grew up with omicron pronounced like the "awe" in
"awesome".
Oh well, to each his own, I guess!

There are a couple pronunciation errors on Jonathan Pennington's CDs of
readings from the Greek N.T. - e.g., at the end of Romans 5:6 (reading from
Romans 5:1-11) he says "APEQANON" instead of "APEQANEN." I would assume
occasional mispronunciations are inevitable when recording/reading lengthy
segments from a text, esp. if it's not one's native language - and even
native Cypriot Spiros Zodhiates hesitates or perhaps mispronounces a word
here or there in his readings of the NT in Modern Greek.
