I like grow for the Forgotten Realms and cow for Greyhawk. No particular reason -it just appeals to me.

I voted 'Other'.


glass.

Although I know it's not canon, I like the alternate, Aztec-based pronounciation of Ixitxachitl I first saw on this board.

I'll never understand why people need a guide for how to pronounce Sahuagin. I don't see how there could be any confusion...

For some reason I initially pronounced this Shway-gun. Then I noticed the extra a several years later. My players never noticed because they were never named in game.

I like that Aztecy pronounciation for the fish I've never used.

Drow as in cow.

On the Sahaugin pronounciation: iIs it sah-HWAH-gin or sah-HWAH-jen?

Hard or soft G? Where's the accent?

I've been pronouncing it sah-HOW-gin. :\

You'd be surprised. One of the groups I game with pronounces it strangely, I can't even replicate it here. I don't fight it though. Bugs the hell out of me when coup de grace is mispronounced though. And despite 'offical' D&D pronuncianations of Bulette and Ixitxachitl, I prononce them the way they should be said.

I usually stay away from using creatures who's names I have a hard time pronouncing.

What is the official pronunciation of bulette? My friends insist it's boo-lay, since it appears to be french, but I think that sounds stupid and doesn't fit the beast at all... I prefer bullet.
