-Blank- Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 If so which ones? I saw Pridak like Pear-dak because I like the way it sounds. I don't care if it's not official I prefer to call him that. What about you guys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meiko Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 I think I try to say them all correctly, but some of them I'm not always sure about. Those that I'm unsure of I usually try to find the etymology and figure out what the pronunciation would be.

Xinlo Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Lewa and Vezon. I say Loo-wa for some reason, and Vezon like everyone else here. Also Tahu, Gali, etc. I say as Ga or Ta instead of Gah or Tah like they say in the movies. That's just my Canadian-ness coming out, though. Quote The Toa's Hideout is once again open for business!

Zakann the Delirious Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 I pronounce Reidak as Rye-dack, though I guess it's supposed to be Ray-dack. I also call Lewa Lee-wah and I say Talk-ah-docks rather than Tack-ah-docks. And like most of you guys I pronounce Vezok and Vezon exactly as they're spelled. I don't get why it needs to have the "vay" sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heir of the Chronicler Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 (edited) Lewa = Lew-uh. Always has, always will. Onewa = Wun-wuh. While I don't mind On-nee-wuh, I was pronouncing Wun-wuh in 2001 and it just feels right to me. Kind of like how Taipu wears a Ruru and Kapura wears a Pakari, darnit. Dume = Doom. "Dew-muh" just leaves me meh... even though I don't usually like "Let's use a word to reflect the character!" names, like General Grievous. I mean, Grievous? I suppose his lieutenant is Colonel Inflicts Pain, too. aaand I know there's others but I don't remember them right now. Also, Jala and Huki are Tohunga.

Protodite Karzahni Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Among the many, there's Dekar (Deh-car, instead of the apparantly correct Day-car). I also pronounce Bitil as "bit-ill". I'm not sure if that's correct or whether it should be "bite-ill". Quote I wrote stories once. They were okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
