How to pronounce (insert word here)? - the master list

Just noticed another "how do you pronounce?" message thread here. Thought it might be good to open the topic to more than one word at a time.

I've always had problems with the psionic Gith-whatchamacallits. Help?

I've seen the same question asked about 'drow', but that's an easy one. You generally don't look too silly stumbling over one-syllable words. (On the other hand, what was the final determination?)

Anyway. Post your problem D&D words here for pronunciation assistance.

 

[diaglo]

smurf nibblin'

and it rhymes with row and bow.

How do I pronounce the evil-manta-ray-thingies from every edition of D&D (and have a vampiric subtype?)
