[net.startrek] Spelling of Mt. ...

	Does anyone know how the Vulcans spell Mt. Silaya?
I have seen it referred to in this newsgroup as "Mt. Seyela"
but thought my ears heard something more like "Silaya".
I'm dying of curiousity. (I haven't read any of the novels;
anyway, would they necessarily be a good source, or would
the spelling just be that particular author's?) Any help
is welcome.
	By the way--might as well mention it--I agree with
those who don't want to see a Klingon-Federation war in STIV,
for most of the same reasons. However, when comparing it to
Star Wars, please remember that there was a lot more going
on in Star Wars besides the war. (Guess I'm reacting to those
who say that the K-F war would bring Star Trek "down to the level
of Star Wars". As a fan of both, I don't see Star Wars (the trilogy
in its entirety) as
lower than Star Trek. I love them both for different yet similar
reasons. Remember the theme of hope and forgiveness and love in
Star Wars, as well as the war.)

The spelling used in the novel ( its correctness or incorrectness cannot
be decided by me ) by Vonda McIntyre, who has many rights to scripts and
such of the ST movies is: Mount Seleya.
