I woould add that the "J" is soft - kind of like 'shh' - not like the J in jar.

shopsinparis... thank you also for you help. I just noticed you had answered along with addy. I still can't say the bags names right though. It's what comes from being a Da-Yooper.

Yes, like knee in English. And it's more like vayr-nee. It's not just "ver" as in..."over"
