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.

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.

Not original with me. I'm not young, but its origin is 19th century and I'm not nearly that old. I always thought it was a George Bernard Shaw thing, but apparently not if the wiki article I just googled is correct.
