I thought it was pronounced as two words, Karma La, smushed together. Say that 5 times fast.
Her name actually comes from:
Her name actually comes from:
According to her name she is on the wrong side, since the swamp and their minions are the parasitic worms. She is not real to her name, but a fake. Parasites are like uninvited guests that take away the resources of the host like illegal immigration and Conrad Czar Harris did to the USA. The RNC can use this if they want, since names, words, memes and jingles, mean so much to the DNC base. Substance is of lessor importance.
I don't know what this thread is all about but I was schooled in a thread I started the other day that pronunciation is critical to meaning Kamala vs Donald - are names destiny?
Those unsure about the pronunciation should simply pay more attention to legitimate news sources land less to Trump and Trump surrogates.

You appear to be confused again. Her opponent is the swamp.

Did you watch the video? Randy is a prodigy in the world of interview and regularly spoke with major candidates four years ago. To be fair and balanced I may post an old Trump interview.

Here is one where at the start he tries to help Trump a bit with his campaign:
I recall not so long ago that media were telling
me it should be "Cam' alah", not "Calm' ah lah".
Now it's something new. I'll call'r Harris.
I think I've got that one right.

I believe it’s pronounced ‘the next US prez’ and the other character’s name ‘got beat by a girl’, or maybe it was ‘sex offender finally experiences shame’.
It means 'lotus flower' for most of us familiar with it. I know a few people named Kamala.

I wonder if the Randy Rainbow video from four years ago was the inspiration for this image:

I like to look up the origins of names.
noun
- an East Indian euphorbiaceous tree, Mallotus philippinensis
- a powder obtained from the seed capsules of this tree, used as a dye and formerly as a worm powder
When I first read this definition, after looking for the word origin, I saw the word Kamala as a natural medicine. What came to my mind was her parents may have hoped or wished she; baby Kamala, would be a doctor someday. Her mother was from India and she did cancer research. She must have been aware of his tree as well as its medical properties maybe even for cancer. Ironically, Kamala Harris did not become a doctor or cure worms, but she became a worm lawyer and politician. Her climb up the company ladder is full of intrigue to put it nicely.
Indeed and it depends on what vowel sounds are made.
Bravo!!
Yeah, that guy pronounces her name like Kāmala (kaa-ma-la). In Sanskrit, the word kāmala means ‘lustful, libidinous.’ On the other hand, Kamalā (ka-ma-laa) is an actual name in Sanskrit and it means ‘Excellent woman’ and ‘An orange.’ It is related to the noun kamalam, meaning ‘lotus’ and ‘copper.’ Of course, not many people in the US are aware, and they probably wouldn’t care.

I understand what you mean, but he did not pronounce it "Kāmala". In English pronunciation a bar over a vowel indicates a long "a" sound as in "Kay". An accent mark like this ' would have been better. That indicates an emphasis. And the pronunciation, at least in the song, was obviously due to the song that he chose.
Yes, he did.
What I have written is in the International Alphabet of Sanskrit Transliteration (IAST). It is not English.
That is an inverted comma. An accent mark is a glyph that you see over these letters: à, á, õ, ô.
Emphasis is not my point. Correct vowels are my point.

And if the discussion was written in Sanskrit you might have a valid point. But was written in English with English Roman based characters. And that is an apostrophe that I used. It is the closest that my keyboard has to an accent mark. And you seem to have missed the point about the song.
