A mystery of MPC for ages. How do you really pronounce "hebe" is it hebe with a long first e and a silent e at the end or two long e sounds? Merriam-Webster pronounces it http://www.merriam-webster.com/cgi-bin/audio.pl?hebe0001.wav=hebe ... After much research I have found the true meaning of hebe's name.

Main Entry: hebe
Pronunciation: 'hEb
Function: noun
Usage: often capitalized
Etymology: short for Hebrew
Date: 1932
usually offensive : JEW

or

Main Entry: He·be
Pronunciation: 'hE-bE
Function: noun
Etymology: Latin, from Greek HEbE
: the Greek goddess of youth and a cupbearer to the gods

after even further research it seems to be also pronounced http://www.merriam-webster.com/cgi-bin/audio.pl?hebe0002.wav=Hebe
