Actually, that's the way I meant Paa-vis to be said.  English - many different ways of spelling the same damn sound!  

When I found out that a pavis or pavise is a large shield used by an archer, it all made so much sense to me!  I knew that the logical way to say it was the French way, but hey, it's in Genertela, not Europe.
