synchronized-- where are you all getting the CHI from? is a CHR

i think chr -- pronounced by my base tongue as KR-- can be split.. (and sync (as in the brands intillisync-- and easysync, or lip-sync(ing) ) seems to be pretty common split. and not a new one...

the Kr sound of CHR comes up again as Christ(mas) (ian) etc. and Kristen is a common alternate spelling..

but then its all greek to me!
