One thing that would make it even better is if you made it a bit more clearer to see where a word ended and the next began.  ;)  I'm impressed at how long it is.

I used to think of Asmodeus as As-MO-dayus, but in the TV show, they pronounce it Az-mo-DAY-us. ;)

Yeah, I was trying to write it out so it came out the same way it did in the TV show, but my mind was thinking about ponies while I was doing this and I did it really fast. I shall fix it though, so never fear!

What about Eulaliiiiiiaaaaaaa!! In some of the books Jaques mis-spells it to describe how it would sound, but is that really how it sounds? ;)

you-lay-lee-ah

That's how you pronounce it. Or so it says in Taggerung. Did you know that Eulalia is actually a name? I was reading over a book of names and Eulalia was one of them.

That makes sense, it's an ancient Celtic/Norse word for "victory".

I always pronounced it You-lay-lee-ah, too. Although in Salamandastron, then Urthwyte shouts it and it sounds like eee-yoo-lay-lee-ahh. He puts an E sound on the front of it.

I always thought it was Az-mo-dee-uz until I watched the TV show.
I won't be on this forum much anymore, but I'll pop in to say hi every now and then.

I thought the same thing... Now I pronounce it:
Az-mo-day-uz

I don't think it really matters, as long as everyone knows who or what you're talking about. Of course, I'm from the deep south, so I'll naturally pronounce things differently...
Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God. For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.

How do you pronounce Ferahgo? I've always said it fur-RA-go.
