queensthiefI 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.

When I first read the "pronunciation of Eddis" passage, I got sort of confused and had to reread before I understood that the magus was pronouncing it with a short "e" instead of a long one, and I was using the "correct" (eddisian) way.
