  We study leptonic CP violation from a new perspective. For Majorana
neutrinos, a new parametrization for leptonic mixing of the form $V=O_{23}
O_{12} K_{a}^{i}\cdot O$ reveals interesting aspects that are less clear in the
standard parametrization. We identify several important scenario-cases with
mixing angles in agreement with experiment and leading to large leptonic CP
violation. If neutrinos happen to be quasi-degenerate, this new parametrization
might be very useful, e.g., in reducing the number of relevant parameters of
models.
