| Pronunciations
It occurred to me I should probably ask, since Rayen and I frequently disagree on the pronunciation of "Meekal", how one pronounces all the various names around here.
1. Meekal: mee-KAL or MEE-kul?
2. Rosaline: rah-suh-lin or roh-suh-lin or rah-suh-line or roh-suh-line?
3. Arcon: ar-kon or ar-kone?
4. Tellurine: tell-urin or tell-ureen?
5. Nękos Servaya is Nay-kose Sayrv-eye-uh.
6. Senyik Devlinn is exactly how it looks.
7. Larya is LAR-yuh, Kerlinten is also phonetic.
8. Roenseller?

| No, Sword..."a' as in " A cow". (In other words, pronounced like "uh".)
Confused me, too, at first blush.  <img src="graemlins/freak2.gif" border="0" alt="[Freak]" />
