How do you say "Genasi"?

[Reaper Steve]

It only took me two decades to find out that "Drow" is pronounced like "cow" and not like "row" (as in row boat.)

So, how is "Genasi" supposed to be pronounced?
Jen-a-SIGH
Jen-NA-see
Jen-a-SEE
other?

Thanks,
RS

Gehn (hard 'g')-AH-see. Occasionally Jehn-AH-see. Accent on the second syllable.

Geh (hard 'g')- NA-see. That is just how I have always said it, but if I was doing a say Arabic campaign with lots of Djinn and also Genasi, probably try to find a Arabic pronunciation.

There was just a thread on this a few weeks ago, actually.

Monte Cook (who created them) confirmed that it's a soft G, as in "genie" (which is where the name came from), and that the last syllable rhymes with "free."

jeh-NAH-see.

I have to interject, unfortunately. The origin of the word "drow" was the Scottish folklore equivalent of the norse "svartalfar" or "dokkalfar". It is pronounced as rhyming with "throw" and "row". Drow - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

EDIT: Even knowing this, I still pronounce it like "cow"

Just like ganache.

For YEARS and YEARS (until I heard the guys on GamerZero say it out loud), I pronounced it:

GEN-SA. (Like Gensu knives).

LOL, this thread reminds me of how many words in DND, and fiction/conics in general, that I mispronounce.

I used to butcher names in 200AD for years, I think I was slightly dyslexic, and I never heard anyone talk about them. Rogue Trooper - Roge (as in Roger without the R) trooper and forget about Strontium Dog, <sigh> so many memories.

:chuckle: I'm Rog. Rog Trooper. Ah, 2000AD... Splundig Ver Thrigg, vagabundo.

Ahh good ould, Tharg the Mighty. Slaine, DR and Quinch, ABC Warriors, Sam Slade, Nemesis and Torquemada. 2000ad totally rocked my world back then.

Anyway, sorry for derailing the thread OP. I'm going to dig out my issues from the attic.
