Is there a language which would pronounce "jiarni" as YARN-EE instead of "jee-Arn-ee"?
Actually a ton of languages would.

Eastern Europe, the baltics, some romance langauges.

But more importantly, the Nordic languages and German do, which is clearly the source of the names in Velious

There are tons of names that have Bj, Fj, Sj, etc, indicating that these are probably Js being used as vowels, which is usually an EE sound or a Y

So mobs like Fjokar Frozenshard, I pronounce Fee yoker.

That makes sense - I'll adopt the soft-J sound, then.
That said, would both "jiarni" and "jarni" would be pronounced "Yarn-ee"? Or should "jiarni" be "Yee-arn-ee" instead? I find this extra "i" confusing.

Page 20 for a p99 thread is usually when things start to unhinge. I’ve never heard a nice thing said about Beef until now, so pull up the lawn chairs and break out the boxed wine.

Around 2000-3000 pages of private stories in the same vein. Nothing P99 in a long time.

I would but the boards feel like a much smaller audience these days. And anything posted to Discord becomes flooded out in a sea of chatter. I hoped for a NSFW-rated channel for stories and roleplays but it didn't get much traction.
