Name Pronounciations?
A friend of mine and I often get in heated arguments over pronunciation of names in DoE (especially Fahren), so I wrote this up the other day.

I believe it is Verr (roll the r) - tah - jah - oon (As in Spoon)

I suggest using Polish pronounciation - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6s-vMd_pBks

Re: Name Pronounciations?
One thing that's always baffled me is:
Is it "Jen-O-Bee" or ""Jean-O-Bee"?
Is it "Jen-O-Bee" or ""Jean-O-Bee"?

Jen - Oh - Bee
The rest I think you may be pronouncing correctly, but might just not be very good at sounding out for the way you typed them. Glyphe is pronounced the same as glyph, and Stille the same as still, for instance.
Of course you're right, you know me in person. Lucky bastage knows all of the proper pronunciations. :pKaome Sky Deathand wrote:I believe it is Verr (roll the r) - tah - jah - oon (As in Spoon)

Re: Name Pronounciations?
Lol, I remember this sort of business when some of us got on vent and we were arguing over the pronunciation.
Vert-wah-nah was how I pronounced back then. Now I just say Vert for the sake of convenience.
Janise was a good one. Jan-iss, but apparently it was EESE.
Genobee was a killer though. "JEE-NO-BEE" "NO WTF NUB, IT'S JEN-OH-BEE" etcetc
Best vent argument EVER.

Re: Name Pronounciations?
Lol, although I always thought Genobee was actually one of the easier ones. The hardest I thought was Fahren;Loki wrote:Genobee was a killer though. "JEE-NO-BEE" "NO WTF NUB, IT'S JEN-OH-BEE" etcetc
Possibility 1: FAH-ren KAA
Possibility 2: FARE-en KAA (like Fahrenheit)
Intresting you say Glyphe specifically, though. I deliberately spelled out Glyphe because I always thought it would raise confusion, as below:Rising_Dusk wrote:Glyphe is pronounced the same as glyph
Glyph: GLIFF
Glyphe: GLIYFE
I always thought that the "e" added the sort of "i/y" sound to the Y.

I've been pronouncing Vertejaune, vur-teh-joan. Fun fact: in French, this literally means green-yellow.
