When I was in Scotland, the Lamont's made it real real clear it was pronounced " It's LAMB-IT Damit!!! Not La Mont, we aren't French for gaawdss sake !!"
I also heard many Scots call it LaMont. I don't care what you call me except late for supper. LOL
I have seen dozens of different spellings in the ancient writings which tell me it was closer to sounding like La Mund, spellings like Lawmound. The proginator of the clan was Sir Laumon. I wish i knew some Gaelic...
