Popocatepetl and Ixtaccihuatl.... can anyone give me a hint as to how to pronounce in "English"?? LOL

I'm pronouncing them Po-po-cat-a-petal and Is-ta-chi-wattle ... is that anywhere near close?

LOL

Anyway, according to Wikipedia Iztaccíhuatl (alternative spellings include Ixtaccíhuatl, or either variant spelled without the accent) (Nahuatl pronunciation: [istak?siwat?] or, as spelled with the x, [i?tak?siwat?]), is the third highest mountain in Mexico, after the Pico de Orizaba (5,636 m) and Popocatépetl (5,426 m). Its name is Nahuatl for "white woman".

Bonus points if you know the legend (I do!)
