Author	Topic: How to Say Rakshasa
Garrison Agent Member # 2820	written Thursday, July 29 2004 15:08 Profile #0 How do you pronounce Rakshasa? The [h] in option 3 means that it can be pronounced, or it can be a soft semi-silent consonant.

Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Thursday, July 29 2004 20:08 Profile Homepage #16 While we're talking about pronunciations of strange Exile/Avernum words, I was wondering where people put the stress on "slithzerikai." I put it on the second syllable, personally, sounding like slith-ZER-ih-kye. I'm writing slith poems in iambic pentameter (don't ask), which is why it matters. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Arancaytar Law Bringer Member # 2984	written Thursday, July 29 2004 21:24 Profile Homepage #17 I always split the word into Slith-Zerikai (have you got any idea how hard it is to say thz?), and stress the last syllable.

Garrison Agent Member # 2820	written Friday, July 30 2004 06:32 Profile #20 Slith-er-is-KAI was the Exile pronounciation. I think the reason why most people check the "You must vote before seeing the results" option is because they either want to force you to vote to satisfy your curiosity, or because they simply don't see the little checkbox to do otherwise. -------------------- What do I put here? -Garrison Posts: 1415 \| Registered: Thursday, March 27 2003 08:00
