Re: How do you pronounce...

**Neamhain** Fri Dec 12, 2008 8:06 pm

Yeah, it is kinda tricky. I always pronounce it "nee AH vin", but Thorongil, who is our resident expert on celtic/gaelic pronounciation, says it is "Ny EVE in" like the word "naive" with "in" on the end. Gotta say, sorta fits....

Most people over here pronounce neamhain as nay-vawn. Very Happy

alright now, you are changing your story, damnit. you told me niave-in (Ny Eve In)
now its something different??? no wonder I have so damned many problems, I cannot even figure out my own name!!

What about the Gods? For example, I think:

Telemachus woud be Ta Lem Ah Kus

Diomedes would be Die Ohm A Dees

Myrkul would be Mir Kool

Genesis is easy: just like the band. Jen A Sis

Who else? What about the goddess of vengence? She has a really LONG name.....

Cecil --
SEH - as in SEction
SUHL - as in foSSIL

but it could also be prounounced like this:
SEE - as in the verb, I see you!
SUHL - as in foSSIL again

but I am sure the first one is the correct one.

And for Harvey, HAR as in HARd, and VEE as in VIETnom

The was I say gods names who are active-

Telemachus - tel-e-ma-chus

Diomedes - dio-meed-eeez

Genesis - gen-ih-sis

Solontus - sole-on-tus

Myrkul - mir-kul

Bodhin:

Boh-dn

Derived from Sanskrit, meaning something like "Bringer of Light" as in wisdom or enlightenment. Seemed like a good magey name.

When you see Malebolgia this is the correct way to pronounce the name:

Summon Ship
