Nope, the next item in the 1984 edition of Oziana is not a short story, but "The Pronunciad" by Robin Olderman, with charming spot illustrations by Robert Luehrs. Two pages, three short poems that attempt (and fail) to figure out how to pronounce Ev, Guph, and Kalidah. The first two seem pretty straight forward to me, but apparently there are some who like their alternate pronunciations. And I doubt we'll ever get a definitive answer for the third one! Since this is so short, I will add here the only non-literary contribution in this issue, a fine back cover drawing of the Queen of Corabia and Confido, from The Yellow Knight of Oz, by an anonymous artist.
