Do you know how to properly pronounce the St. Francois River?

Lemme try. Sah (or san) fra(n)-swa

...try the Cuivre River.

Queev-re?

It's pronounced St. Francis.

And Cuivre rhymes with River.

I only know the Bois D’arc colloquialism as I have been there. The others, who knows.

Versailles is “ver-sales”, Laquey is “lake-way” and Gravois is “grav-is”.

Mexico, however is mexico....

In St. Louis, Gravois is grav-oy, like Illinois. I had forgotten about Versailles but you have reminded me, and haven’t heard of Laquey.
