There are many more words that we may all pronounce differently. Like in this Allakazham post from 2001.
SOW -- Why just like Cow of course.
Guk -- Rhymes with "luck"
Tizmak -- First syllable rhymes with Wiz, second like Mack.
Klok -- "Clock" of course.
Kaesora -- "Kay" + "sore" + "uh". Emphasis on second syllable
Damask -- Sort of like "The Mask"
Sebilis -- First Syllable rhymes with Deb, then "ill" + "iss" with the emphasis on the first syllable.
Innoruuk -- "In" + "or" + "ook" as in "look"
Teir'Dal -- "Tear" (as in crying) + "Doll"
Feerrott -- "Fear" + "Rot"
Kael Drakkal -- "Kale" + "drack" + "all"
Cabilis -- "Cab" + "eel" + "iss". emphasis on the second syllable.
Ry'Gorr -- "Rye" + "Gore"
Rathe -- like "wrath"
Ankhefenmut -- ank as in "hank" + "uh" + fen as in "pen" + Mutt as in a dog with the emphasis on the first and third syllable.
Luclin -- I used to pronounce this "Loose"lin, but was told by the folks at Sony that they pronounce it "Luck"lin. Amazing how they can mispronounce their own game isn't it?
Drakkel -- "drack" + "ill". Emphasis on the first syllable.
Ulthork -- Ull as in "pull" + thork as in "fork". Emphasis on the first syllable.
Rowyl -- Rhymes with "Howl"
Froglok -- "frog" plus "lock". How else?
Solusek -- Sol as in "Doll" plus "loose" plus sek as in "wreck". Emphasis on the second syllable.

If you disagree with most of this list you're an inbred fuck.
The only ones up for debate:
Rathe (i say wraith but i dont have a strong opinion)
Innoruuk (i match what is said above, but would accept differences without judging)
Feerrott (fear-row, but I'm not really sure if thinking the t's are silent has any basis in reality)
Cabilis (cab-ill-iss)
Luclin (look-lin; loose-lin may actually be more accurate now that I think about it. The way the underpaid hicks at SOE pronounce it is irrelevant.)
That's mostly nitpicking and the rest of it isn't even questionable. Sow versus sew is clearly settled; the majority of p99 players are terrible shitties and that same majority prefers "sew", so we know sao is the only righteous way of speaking this one.
