Wow - it wasn't until just this moment that I realized that its name is just a funny way to pronounce "bullet" - because it's a bullet-shaped, bullet-color monster that shoots at you. Wow. I had completely missed that somehow. So obvious now.
Correct. "-ette" is the feminine dimunitive, and should be pronounced "ET". The masculine diminutive is "-et" and is pronounced closer to "AY".
So, if they wanted "bool-AY", it should have been spelled "bulet" (or, you know, in some phonetic that approximates it). The examples against pronouncing it bool-AY are legion, and examples for that pronunciation are few.
It also brings up the question - if the bulette is the dimunitive, the "little bul", what in blazes is the full bul like?
lolololHardly anyone has ever seen baby bulettes. That is because they do not exist. Every hundred years or so, a lucky bulette that eats all its vegetables grows up into a terrasque.(The boards need an evil laugh smiley)
Haha Ain't it the truth?Wow - it wasn't until just this moment that I realized that its name is just a funny way to pronounce "bullet" - because it's a bullet-shaped, bullet-color monster that shoots at you. Wow. I had completely missed that somehow. So obvious now.
Man, it's amazing how far your young mind will go to rationalize that the authors weren't just being lazy.
Finally, an in-game justification for why halflings are extinct.
