Vast mountains like the
Alps have these. When people
Leave, their fare-thee-wells
Echo VAYlee…ee…ee…ee
‘Vale’
means both a valley through which courses a stream and an expression of farewell.
The latter is pronounced either VAY-lee
or WALL-aye. While spelled the same,
the two ‘vales’ appear to come from different roots.
