Did you know?
- A Spanish speaker might naturally treat the name as a masculine noun, even though many Spanish words ending in 'a' are grammatically feminine.
- In a Spanish-speaking classroom, a teacher might use the name Mufasa to demonstrate how the letter 'u' is always pronounced as /u/ and never as /ju/, unlike in English.
