Is is Teela? or is it a short I like pill? All of my bead friends say it differently and almost apologetically. We&#39;ll say, &quot;Oh, that&#39;s made with tila&#39;s, or tilla, however you say it&quot;. I say tile-a, because the beads look like little tiles. Also because I&#39;ve always heard that a single consonant after a vowel makes the vowel long (in most cases). Therefore tila pronounced tilla would have a second &quot;L&quot; to make it a short &quot;i&quot;. And it could be a case of potato potahto. Y&#39;know?</p> <p>Can anyone help me?</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>~Karen</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
