    That's even further from how it looks to sound like! (in my mind) e_e
    Always thought it was like The - se - ad. (e like elephant) + (ad like 'an ad for something')
    Pronunciations be wild

    Spanish is my native language, so if I ever come across something that isn't an English word, I automatically say it mentally with the Spanish pronunciation until I learn otherwise.

    For example, I pronounced "Almuj" as "Al-Moo" for a while because "j" makes the "h" sound. Or, " 'ælmu " for those of you who know IPA.

    "Llevigar" to this day is pronounced as "Jev-ih-gar" by me as double L or "elle" makes the "J" sound. " 'ʤɛvɪˌgər " for the IPA folks. Even if it is "Le" or "lɛ", I've seen elle too many times in my life to make the automatic change.

    I think it's a lot funnier to compare different dialects of the same language. I have a friend whose dialect is in relation to Peninsular Spanish, so "ce", "ci" and "z" are pronounced as "th" by him, while my Latinamerican Spanish has me pronounce them with an "S" more often than not. This means when he and I saw Cinfras, I said, "Seen-fras" and he said "Theen-fras".

    It’s defintely a bit of a guessing game if you’ve never heard anyone say the names before (I still haven’t). Don’t worry about right and wrong- this is all in good fun and to have a friendly giggle over wild pronunciations.

    Nice pronunciation of Qira by the way, it’s got a very smooth flow to it

    Having read through all the pronounciations, the Gavel guide, etc, nothing will stop me from pronouncing names in the following way:*

    No particular order.

    Wynn: Win with an accented n
    Ragni: Rag-nee
    Detlas: Debt-less (Hehe, double-entendre)
    Ternaves: Terh-nav-ess
    Elkurn: El-kurn
    Nemract: Nem-rack-tuh
    Nesaak: Ness-ack (except the ack is pronounced in the alsatian way because it's a double a, and I'm alsatian, so it's prolonged and hard to explain.)
    Katoa: Cat-Oa (like in SOHCAHTOA)
    Maltic: Mall-tick
    Dernel: Durr-nel (nel like mel)
    Troms: Trohms
    Lusuco: Lose-ooh-ck-oh
    Seavale: Sea-vale
    Breminglar: Brem-ing-larr
    Almuj: Al-moo-juh (juh like judge)
    Rymek: Rim-eck
    Twain: furry version of Train
    Skiens: Ski-nss
    Nodguj: Nod-goo-juh
    Dujgon: Do-juh-gone
    Dern: Durr-n
    Zhight: Z-'ight
    Durum: Dooh-rum (rum like the alcohol)
    Selchar: Sell-car

    Corkus: Cork-us
    Avos: 'Av-oss
    Relos: Reh-loss


    Gavel: Gah-vull
    Jofash: Joe-fash (like fashion)
    Maro: Mahrr-oh (mar like sea in spanish)
    Kandon-beda: Can-done-bed-ah
    Ahmsord: Ah-mhm-sword
    Llevigar: Yell-vih-grrr (strange pronounciation, I know)
    Bucie: Bush-ee (Perhaps my strangest pronounciation yet)
    Elfilim: Elf-ill-'im ('im like the german "im" or the british farmer's, "Give it to 'im!")
    Olux: Oh-lux (lux like luxury)
    Kander: Can-durr
    Lexdale: Lex-dale (lex like Lex Luthor, dale like Dale from LOTR).
    Karoc Quarry: Car-rock Quarry
    Cinfras: Kin-Fruss
    Aldorei: Ald-or-aïe (Ald like Ald English, aïe like ouch in french because that's what the german ei sounds like).
    Gert: Gurrt
    Gylia: Gill-yah (yah like yasss queen)
    Letvus: Let-vuss
    Ozoth: Oz-of
    Bantisu: Ban-'tis-ooh
    Eltom: El-tom (El like El Toro!!!)
    Rodoroc: Rod-or-rock
    Maex: Mae-ecks
    Thesead: These-ee-ad

    I think I have all the non-modern-english-names in there...
