Pronunciations?

[sandtree.livejournal.com]

I think there was a topic like this a while ago, but I figured since there are new people, and since we're all doing the read aloud thing, it might be fun to bring up again.

So, how do you pronounce certain words and names in the books? And maybe you could tell where you live as well, because accents might play into it. It think it would be interesting to see all the different ways that people pronounce things.

Eugenides: yoo-jen-EYE-dees
Magus: MAY-jus
Attolia: ah-TOLL-ee-ah
Eddis: EE-dis
Sounis: SOO-nis
Nahuseresh: na-HOO-ser-esh

And more that I can't think of, I'm sure.

I think I'm the only person who says Sounis as SOW-nis. It makes sense to me. Like the beginning of 'sound'.

Also, I say Na-HUGH-ser-esh. (Hugh like the name.)

Other than that, many of you guys have heard my pronunciations already in my recording. :)

But SOW-nis makes it sound like pigs live there. I thought it was goats and sheep. You know, wooly things.
