How do you pronounce "Hotenow," anyway? During LMoP, my players kept pronouncing it "hot now," leading to many jokes: "What about that volcano, Mount Hotenow? Is it hot now?"
It's even worse when you consider "enow" is another way of saying "enough": "Hot enough?" I wonder if this is a name by Ed or a pun added by Paul Jaquays when he wrote FR5 The Savage North?
In the Neverwinter MMORPG videos, it is pronounced "hote" (rhymes with "goat") "e" "now" (rhymes with "snow"). I think you really need to emphasise the first syllable in that way to avoid the sniggering....
