"Moluccas" is the English equivalent of the Italian name Molucche. The feminine plural noun references the Spice Islands -- Ambon, Aru, Buru, Halmahera, Kai, Seram, Ternate, Tidore -- from which the Indonesian archipelago furnished world-famous supplies of cloves, mace, and nutmeg. The pronunciation will be "mo-LOOK-key" in Italian. The word in Italian is a feminine gender noun that's used in its plural form. It's pronounced 'moh-LOO-kay'.*
