Lutra

I always felt the tv series had it correct:

Meth--oo--zel--ah

Tiria Wildlough

Yep.
I pronounced Mhera as "Merra". Also, I think Quean is pronounced 'kw-EE-n'. :D

I used to pronounce Mattimeo Mat-TEE-me-oh. It annoyed my friend Evelyn to no end.

Do you pronounce Lutra with the long u or with the short u?

I agree with Leatho Shellhound; the audiobooks help a lot.  The names that stand out to me that I used to mispronounce are , like Redwaller said, "Mattimeo" as Mat-TEE-me-oh, and also sort of Keyla.  I used to pronounce Keyla correctly as KEE-la, then the TV show had it as KAY-la so I pronounced it that way for years, but then I just listened to the audiobook, which has it as KEE-la, and as that's narrated by BJ I assume it's correct.

I understand the molespeech a bit better now thanks to the audiobooks. xD

Lutra

I always thought Keyla was Kay-lah even before watching the tv series.  Given that Mr. Jacques was a consultant for the show, I'd suspect they'd make sure they pronounce the names correctly.

In Mossflower, Gonff pronounced Salamandastron as: Sala-manda-stron, and he was told the name by a badger.
In the audiobooks, it's always pronounced: sala-man-DAS-tron.
I'm assuming the latter is correct, though.
