Since this thread is about the pronunciation of "Dorothea", I'll risk
adding a footnote to the footnote: it would be different in German.
The TH would sound like English T, and the E like French E acute
(roughly like English AY). Also the second O and final A might be
more definitely O-like and A-like than the indistinct sound they have
in English.

Apologies to anyone who has ever learned any German for the
elementary nature of this observation.
