In extending the recently proposed {ital S}{sub 3}{times}{ital Z}{sub 3} model of quark mass matrices to include leptons to account for a possible 17-keV neutrino, a solution was already obtained with a certain choice for the Majorana neutrino mass matrix. We show here that there is another choice which results in a qualitatively new solution. There will be three pseudo Dirac neutrinos, one of which is formed mostly out of {nu}{sub {ital e}} and {bar {nu}}{sub {mu}}. The 17-keV neutrino decays into {nu}{sub {ital e},{mu}} and a Majoron with a lifetime of about 3{times}10{sup {minus}3} s.
