How do you pronounce ...


If it doesn't fit anywhere else, it belongs here. Also, come here if you just need to get hammered.

Re: How do you pronounce ...

I'm now starting to realize that I've never actually paid attention to what order the letters in these enemies' names actually was and just picked a couple consonants and vowels at random and smushed them together in the first thing that sounded vaguely name-like and was passable at a glance.

Re: How do you pronounce ...

Ill Swill, but with the last "ll" pronounced by Elmer Fudd.

Stah Wah (a New Hope)

Necco Zek

Inoxy Null

Six Furry

Irr Reddle Lemnal (though I have the pin-pen merger when I'm not being careful, so the last two syllables sound like "limnal")

Keekoo buh Kood Gah (same metre as "zippity-doo-dah"; probably the G is the Dutch G but I can't pronounce that)

idk why the i do the starting vowel differently even though they both start with Y and theoretically with the same intent, i guess it's because it's a lot easier to to a y sound before n than it is to make a y sound before r. Try it if you don't believe me, yinox just kind of rolls off the tongue even though it's incorrect, but yired/yeered is a tongue buster.

Re: How do you pronounce ...

I've been waiting for one of these!

ɪlswiː
ʃtɑːwɑː
nɛkɒʃɛq
kiːkuːbɑːqʊʔxɔː <- this one is a fucking mess jesus christ everything falls apart on the last syllable
yːrɛdɛlɛmnl
yːnɒʃnuːl

edit: I used English IPA for everything except the q sound, which doesn't appear in English. Kikubaaqudgha is a K'iche' Mayan word for me. Don't ask why.
