(Question) How do you pronounce.....

[startle]

Ok, I would have posted this on UHall - but I didn't want to hear from the trammies.... Have spent the last few months talking in Vent/Mumble/etc. and was surprised to hear the way different people pronounce the names I've had in my head for years now....
We need a consensus here.... Actually, we don't - I'm just curious.

So how do you pronounce the following:

Jhelom
NuJel'm
Stygian
Daemon
Lycaeum
Punkte
Delucia
Papua
Khaldun
Ilshenar
Yomotsu
Homare

 

[Wulf2k]

Jello mmmm
New Jelm
Sti Jun
Matt Damon!
Lie say umm
Punked
Dell looshia
Pop Wha?
Cal Dune
Ilsh in arrr
Yaw mott sue

I don't pronounce Homare because slutty horses don't need judgement.

 

[Kat]

So how do you pronounce the following:

Jhelom - Jell-uhm
NuJel'm - Nu-juh-lum
Stygian - Styg-eeh-an
Daemon - Same way you say Demon
Lycaeum - Lye-cee-um
Punkte - Punk-tee
Delucia - De-loo-sha
Papua - Pap-ooh-wa
Khaldun - Kal-doon
Ilshenar - Ill-shen-ar
Yomotsu - Yo-mot-soo
Homare - Hoe-mare

 

[startle]

... I don't pronounce Homare because slutty horses don't need judgement.

No, but if they're slutty then I reckon the name fits... Besides, there was no judgement calls in the op... Just the pronunciation... And I'm surprised you missed that, Ms PinkPerson...
Personally, I think they're just movin' the gene line along - in whatever way suits them...

 

[startle]

Ok, that's 2 now. Let's hear from the rest of you...

I got my pronouncements from my daughter when she played. But she pronounced Paupa as Paw Paw. She talked funny in game anyway. All of her characters did. One even had a lisp.

 

[Kat]

Way back I had a guild mate that pronounced Papua - Poo-Poo-wa. I have also heard Pap-Pow.


This one made me chuckle!

Delucia - del oo kia

Trammies do play and read the Siege forums

You're right of course, Lady Michelle, trammies do play and some of them read the Siege forum.
I could have left that part out, and in hindsight - I probably should have. At the time I was thinking of a few of the more argumentative trammies that frequent UHall, and it was really more me not wanting to deal with them.
So, for the trammies reading this - I rescind that comment - (I was one of you for many years prior to discovering UO the way it was meant to be played - with risk and excitement). You are more than welcome to comment or defend yourself from what was (in hindsight again) a bit of a crass comment. Or, you could certainly clone this question over on UHall if you wish (not like you need my permission anyway)...

So, to all the many trammies reading this - I apologize for saying I didn't care to hear from you.

Is that ok, M'Lady?

 

[startle]

Oh, and to all of you who have taken the time to respond - thank you very much.
When this thread falls down the board a ways, I'll see how much there is in the way of a consensus (not that it matters, this is simply a product of my overactive curiosity)...
Thanks for helping...
