Qeynos

[OuterChimp]

It's pronounced Quay-Nos.

Not Key-Nos!

[raski]

fake news.

[strongNpretty]

Seriously... And let's talk about Spirit of Wolf.. Or Soh or Sew or So VERSUS Sauo or Saou or Saow or Sou like sour with without the R..

It's definitely So/Sew/So.....

[reznor_]

Seriously... And let's talk about Spirit of Wolf.. Or Soh or Sew or So VERSUS Sauo or Saou or Saow or Sou like sour with without the R..

It's definitely "sew".

I agree totally. Sow like sewing needle. I hear a lot of folks saw it like the Sour without the R sound....uggh.

But, to each his own.

[Tunabros]

sorry its key - nose

its "so"

[Videri]

Ho no, brohn co?

[Zyth]

Pointless thread.

Freeport is the superior city.

[Bardp1999]

Pointless thread.

Freeport is the superior city.

KEY-No's is the more classic city because Blackburrow is the most classic zone in the game

[Hrothgar]

Qeynos is Sony EQ. Hard E sound. KEE-nohs.

[Evets]

I always said it like it's spelled ... sow like a female pig lol

and Quey Nos

[Gustoo]

QUEE

NOH

S


SOW is pronounced like sew or just "so"

not SAW

[Gustoo]

QUEE

NOH

S


SOW is pronounced like sew or just "so"

not SAW

Hrothgar style qeynos is also acceptable.

[Gustoo]

The EC tunnel being in the center of the actual game world is just a magically perfect place to trade. Trading should happen at the shady swashbuckler but its OK. The original Bazaar.

Qeynos is a nice place, and honestly the journey from qeynos to rivervale is one of my favorite journeys in any game regardless of the route.

Best game

[greasemonk]

Yall mother fuckers need Jesus

[Jibartik]

I pronounce all fantasy words like this:

1. I look at the first letter of the word.

2. I look at the second letter of the word.

3. I take a cursory glance at random letters in-between.

4. Then I make a sound that has the first and last letter, and some approximation of the other letters in between.

The pronunciation of Qeynos after doing this simple little trick, is indeed.

Quay-Nos.

Can't beat this science.

[douglas1999]

One weird trick will determine how you pronounce kway-nohs

[Woke Locc]

Quay(kee). It's a port city! This is Brad's design

I say Kway anyway.

[BiG SiP]

QaY NoSS

[kaizersoze]

its kay nose

[Tethler]

I still say "qway" out of habit, even though I know its "key".

Sow = sew
That's a hill I'm willing to die on.


How do ya'll say "peridot"? The real pronunciation is like pear-a-doe, but I pretty much always hear the T when people are in discord.

[mcoy]

Dots ftw. I say the dot.

-Mcoy

[BiG SiP]

what a gigantic flame agate

[magnetaress]

Qo'nos. Pronounced Kronos.

Also a reason for the clock tower. Pretty sure it's the only one in game. And I think it used to work.

Qeynos Sonyeq was just a cover for its real occult spelling. Also Rodcet a grey, and Bertox, are both gods of time, mortality, Immortality.

I'm not making this shit up. Eq is riddled with it. ;)

[Arakash]

Wouldn't it have the same pronunciation as Sony EQ except backwards?
So, Cue ee nōs

[dre206]

its kay nose

[kaev]

Some of you people are just hopeless. Not gonna say which.

[magnetaress]

Kawaynahhs

[Gustoo]

Peridots have a hard t because they’re dots for short that’s just good science

[BlackBellamy]

I pronounce all fantasy words like this:

Grblerglor rebligodongtoenor hloplontoroplil blewrentotuwantoreg hru hru hru

That is what you sound like you grumbling human pig; that’s the sounds our broodlings make when they imitate dirty apes pleading for their lives. You have come to our island thinking yourselves explorers and conquerors but you are nothing but tourists and fertilizer. You will die in our jungles and our swamps and the insects will leave nothing of you. We can see you from our towers, from our city New Sebilis, you have come for Venril Sathir but it’s him you’ll wind up serving. You dirty filthy louse-ridden gibbering monkeys. Your weak helpless young aren’t even fit for a meal, your poor and slovenly cities aren’t even deserving of pillage, and that pitiful shrieking rabble you call an army isn’t even worth a dirty blade, but Lord Cazic commands it so a banquet will be made in front of your burning cities and our new slaves will watch as we feast on their young. We will turn your entire world into a pyre to your hubris. Fear the blades of the Iksar!



Whew! Sure having a lot of fun leveling my Iksar guy and hating on the softies, it’s a blast!

[Henlolizar]

Quay(kee). It's a port city! This is Brad's design

I say Kway anyway.

Hey, that's a good point! And wouldn't 'quay nos' mean 'our port' or similar in French? Could be reasonable to assume there's some Old French roots to this human city's name...

So much of my life was spent playing this game through chat only and alone.

So I bet if I did an audit there would be so many words I had so wrong, I know there are at least a few.

I really did not know they were called IK-sar until twitch was invented.

[Tunabros]

tomato tomato

why is this thread 5 pages long already?!

[Jibartik]

Who else calls it Buttburrow?

[magnetaress]

Never heard buttburrow, always associated goblins with that joke... runneyeye... this game is wierd sometimes.

[OuterChimp]

Ik like the sound in sick.

Sar like bar without the B and an S instead.

Ik sar

[Nomadic Plainswalker]

K - Nos.

No matter how you say it, it is still SONY EQ backwards.

[aspomwell]

It's tuh-NAHR-ay*

*source: used to play there, we all pronounced it this way...

[OuterChimp]

Too Nare (long a, slient e)

[FatherSioux]

[Hrothgar]

Jesus, some of you are going to start saying you pronounce Felwithe with a hard 'EE' sound at the end.

And, if you did that, you'd be like my high school friend in reading support. He pronounced it that way, and you'd be like him.

[Donkey Hotay]

If I learned anything from voice comms over the years, it's that MMO nerds cannot pronounce anything logically or consistently.

[imperiouskitten]

ppl who pronounce SoW like "soe" are creepy. female cow on the brain, weird

[BiG SiP]

can i get a so

[kaev]

ppl who pronounce SoW like "soe" are creepy. female cow on the brain, weird

That's a neoplasm dude. Cow is a female of cattle, as a bull is a male. Also, sow is correctly pronounced per a needle pulling thread and not as if it were referring to a female pig.

[Nexii]

key-nos (rhyming with Bose, Quiznos)
kay-nos also acceptable

[Woke Locc]

That's a neoplasm dude. Cow is a female of cattle, as a bull is a male. Also, sow is correctly pronounced per a needle pulling thread and not as if it were referring to a female pig.

Specifically a cow is a female that had a calf. Femcel cows are called heifers.

[magnetaress]

I pronounce it like cow but think of a preggo momma wolf charging in to battle to protect the yearlings and defend the pack in a rage.

Ykesha is Yeekesha

[imperiouskitten]

it's obviously keynose

if you read a U in there it's because you don't read with very much fidelity because you're inbred and consequently most likely very ugly.

[imperiouskitten]

Ykesha is obviously transliterated from some sort of Swahili N Language analogue, it's something like Y`kesh-ah where the Y is like a very short deemphasized consonant

[imperiouskitten]

it's obviously keynose

if you read a U in there it's because you don't read with very much fidelity because you're inbred and consequently most likely very ugly.

side note if you pronounce it like "key-noss" you're still dumb and probably got "noss" from watching The Fast And The Furious

[imperiouskitten]

Ykesha is obviously transliterated from some sort of Swahili N Language analogue, it's something like Y`kesh-ah where the Y is like a very short deemphasized consonant

Specifically a cow is a female that had a calf. Femcel cows are called heifers.

Need a Finnish speaker to comment. That language seems hard when I'm unsure how they say the word/root 'one'

She's also wrong. Q is always Qu in standard English.

[magnetaress]

It's OK to be wrong tho. It's better to be nice about it if so.

[Nexii]

Q without a U is just a K sound. For example, Iraq, Qatar, burqa.

KAY noce

[douglas1999]

Those are all arabic words though, spoken in arabic it doesn't just sound like a K. Close but not exactly the same. Qeynos is a fantasy elf name, so there's more wiggle room with how to properly pronounce it.

Anyway, I'm a huge nerd.

[Ravager]

It's pronounced Qeynos, dummies.
