How do you pronounce "Sahuagin"?

sa-HOO-a-JIN.

This is close to the official pronounication in Sea Devils. Page 47 has saa-WHO-ah-gen.

 

[Corsair]

suh-OW-gin

(hard G)

Wasn't there a 2E sourcebook on these guys? Did it have the proper pronounciation?

yes there was, and yes it did....unfortunately i'm not at home to reference it.....

 

[Ed_Laprade]

sa-HWAA-gin.

No idea if that's right or where Gygax got it from, but it does look vaguely Meso-American.

So, how does everyone pronounce Ixitxachitl?

Badly.
