How to pronounce SoW debate

[Telin]

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.

I agree with most of that. However, I differ in the pronunciation of Guk. On its surface, I can see why people think it rhymes with luck. But to me it always sounded similar to the way you pronounce Rook, the chess piece. Not the racist word, hey! Just the sound of the word Rook, except beginning with G, if that makes sense.

Sigh, I tried to make that message as nice as possible to avoid crappy replies, I guess I failed.

Well I feel good now that I know i've been thinking those words in my head the right way, except feerrott, i always pronounced it like the animal. On topic, I had someone ask me for a brief lupine aura the other day, no way to debate that one.

Of course there is room for debate. First vowel can be long or short ('oo' or 'uh'), second vowel can be english/american or euro ('eye' or 'ee'), third vowel can be silent or voiced.

My biggest disappointment on joining this server was to find that Ghoti was unavailable as a name (pronounce it same as "fish": 'gh' as in laugh, 'o' as in women, 'ti' as in caution.)

Kudos. That's a bizarre pronunciation.

"Gh" is only pronounced like an F because of what precedes it. When it appears at the beginning, it's always pronounced like a G (ghost, ghoul, ghee, ghetto, etc.).

"Women" is a weird word. Its pronunciation follows no logic based on how it's spelled. The letter O itself actually doesn't factor into its pronunciation at all. We still pronounce it how we used to spell it: wimmen.

Ghoti is likely unavailable because someone's trying to emulate the mob boss.
