Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Sunday, February 27 2005 14:14 Profile Homepage #76 Kelandon is pronounced just like the first name of Landon Donovan, from whom the name comes. I've always wondered how to pronounce Djur. I've been pronouncing it much like the French "d'jour," but with a schwa instead of a long U sound. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Sunday, February 27 2005 18:35 Profile Homepage #82 quote: Originally written by Lady Davida: While we're on this topic, is Thuryl pronounced THUR-ill, or THUR-isle, or THUR-eel, or thur-EEL, or what? THOO-r'l. Th as in thin, oo as in moon. The second syllable doesn't really have much of a vowel in it; just roll your tongue steadily back as you shift from R to L. I pronounce "Kelandon" approximately the way Kel apparently does, but more lazily. "K'-LAN-d'n". (The apostrophes are undifferentiated vowel sounds.) As for "Djur", I pronounce it like the first syllable of "Germany". I think "Boeh" is pronounced a little like a mix of "bear" and "bay".

Spring Shaper Member # 5450	written Sunday, February 27 2005 23:38 Profile Homepage #83 I have always pronounced Thuryl(in my head, not out loud) as 'thu' as in 'thug' and 'rel' as in...um...'well' with the 'w' replaced with 'r'. Also, I have pronounced 'Arancayter' as 'aaron' as in the name 'cater' as in cater for my wedding. -------------------- I'll put a Spring in your step.

Arancaytar Law Bringer Member # 2984	written Monday, February 28 2005 01:37 Profile Homepage #84 That last 'e' should be an 'a', though, which makes a slight difference. At least no one has decided to make a parody of it yet named 'Arcan-tater' or something and drawn me as a potato. Poor Darth Vader. :P -------------------- The Encyclopaedia Ermariana <-- Now a Wiki!

Drew By Committee Member # 4233	written Monday, February 28 2005 13:03 Profile #87 I always thought "Djur" would be pronounced with the 'jur bit sounding like "yer," also known as the Kentucky equivalent of "your." "Kelandon" for me had no dominant syllable. EDIT: Oh, and "Thuryl" for me rhymed with "hurl." No offense intended. :) [ Monday, February 28, 2005 13:04: Message edited by: Arma virumque cano... ] Posts: 2242 \| Registered: Saturday, April 10 2004 07:00
Or else o'erleap. Law Bringer Member # 335	written Monday, February 28 2005 15:26 Profile Homepage #88 I've pronounced Thuryl like hurl as well, only with more of an "ih" between the R and the L. To me, Kelandon is KEHL-an-dun. I've always said "Djur" as JUR, which rhymes with fur. I believe someone once gave it a definition complete with pronunciation, though. It was pronounced HOAR, and I'm sure you can work out the definition. I try not to pronounce Boeh, but when I have to it most closely resembles BO-eh. That's kind of like boa with a different vowel, I guess. —Alorael, whose name is pronounced A LARGE... never mind. Posts: 14579 \| Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00
Spring Shaper Member # 5450	written Monday, February 28 2005 23:28 Profile Homepage #89 Kelandon for me has been Kelandon. Simply Kel-an-dun. Like that. Alorael, for me has just been 'Alo' as in a low rail, and 'rel' as, like in my previous post, 'well' with the 'w' replaced by 'r'. I hope they are right. ;) :P [ Monday, February 28, 2005 23:29: Message edited by: Goddam ] -------------------- I'll put a Spring in your step.

It sounds sort of like the biblical name of an arch-angel, if you can imagine an arch-angel with a sniper rifle. I had exactly the same thought upon first seeing the name. It's the -el ending in particular that gives that impression, of course. I pronounce it slightly differently, though: a (as in "balloon"; an undifferentiated vowel) - LO (as in "loss") - ray (as in, well, "ray") - el (as in "elephant"). -------------------- My BoE Page Bandwagons are fun!

Sarachim For Carnage, Apply Within Member # 95	written Tuesday, March 1 2005 18:31 Profile #98 I never really imagined how most of the names here are pronounced, and if I ever had to talk about them out loud I'd probably wind up improvising. The only ones I've discussed in some non-text form are Imban, Alec, and Thuryl, and the first two are obvious. Oh, and I'm with the "hurl" people.

bogus standard candidate Infiltrator Member # 4592	written Tuesday, March 1 2005 19:11 Profile #100 Being a victim of native language tyranny, I pronounce most names as they're written. Except those that are English like Bob or Peter. Alorael- A (short) lo (as in lopez) rael (soft r) But if the A is longer or "ai" . . . (accent on the A) Kelandon- Que lan (land) don (as in the Spanish don) (accent on ke) Thuryl- Zu ril (short i) (accent on thu, notice a pattern?) Arancaytar- Aran (like the spanish verb mentioned above) cay (kite) tar (as in tar, the substance) (accent on ran) Hmmm. So you know how I've been butchering your names. . . Ouch.
