Southern California - Latigo -- how do you say it?

Probably a silly question but how do you guys pronounce Latigo?
LA ti go, La TI go, or La TEE go? I think I've heard it pronounced all three ways.

I say LA-ti-go, but I'm whitey-white-white milk toast who used to say SUP-le-Veeda too. :p

Not like Stratego. :)

Since it is a Spanish word I pronunce it with a short ti.

Not like Stratego. :)
LOL!
Thanks for the advice, folks!

ME-- Everyone who comes to visit me pronounces Sepulveda wrong! It's gotten to the point where I can't wait to see what my friends from back home will come up with. My sister was the best-- SeppulVAYda.

Especially with your zinc on.:)

It probably should be La-tee-go but the locals call it Latigo...tough to put it in phonetics. Watch the movie "Point Break" there's a mention of it at one point.

La-tee-go, Spanish for whip.

LOL!

A friend of mine from back home in hickville, NC always pronouced it SEEpullVAYda. So that's how I pronounce it now.

I pronouce Latigo la ti go. The ti part like tit, without the last t.

Ballona Creek is like baloney, execpt with an a at the end, as opposed to the ey.

How do you pronounce ti ?

That's how I pronounced it when I first read it.

I grew up in that area, and we all pronounced it LA ti go as white as can be. It's probably not the originally intended pronunciation, but it's the locally accepted one since the area is 60% Jewish and 35% other anglo races.

If only you guys knew the way I first pronounced cahuenga or tujunga (did I even spell them correctly?)

This may be old, but a latigo is the strap that is used to pull the cinch tight on a saddle. I've been around stables all my life and have never heard it pronounced any way except lat-ig-oh.

Joy is right!

Yes, I need to be harrumphed. I haven't had a good harrumph in a while.

I did not know that. Actually, I had just assumed it was another name from the early days in Agoura, like Kanan and Reyes.
