Pronunciation.

Am I right in pronouncing Jainism like "Jay-nizm"?
Well, not really. Jain is as Ban is in English. Banism (just replace the B with a J).
BTW, Jain derives from Jina (the victors, who have won the battle for understanding of life), Boudhha derives from Buddhi (intellect, knowledge), Sikh derives from disciples (Sishyas), and Hindu derives from River Indus (Sindhu, or the people who live east of River Indus).
