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? It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us the freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us the freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who gives us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protestor to burn the flag. - Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

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]" />

Okay, anybody else want to explain things? It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us the freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us the freedom of speech.
