Lucky me! I saw this stratigraphy and the mists rising off the Oostanaula River within hours of each other.
As far as I know, Wikipee is wrong, and the local pronunciation, derived from the ancients, is something like oooo-sten-ah-lee. Yes, the spelling suggests “lah” on the end, but I hear it’s “lee.” So much for phonetics. (Note some of the alternate spellings.)

Phonetics sort of like the “Waiskey” river.

…you have to google it as Waiska! I’m not sure anyone agrees on a pronunciation.
