Liutgard is L(y)oot-gard, and having consulted modern authorities have
been given to understand that the best approximation (this being
something more than 1200 years later) of Luxeuil in
Merovingina/Carolingina mouths would be Lucks-oy(uh), with the last
syllable sort of held back.
And I would prefer, if you will, that Liutgard not be minimized with a
diminuitive form, especially since there does not appear to be one.
Until May,
'Lainie
