Dear EN world members. Japanese translation team for DnD3e need your help. Now we are translating MM. As we are not using western alphabets, we must transliterate any proper nouns in DnD. Some of them can be found in WotC or TSR's pronunciation guide. And some of them are answered by WotC design team. Still, we haven't received some answer from them (it seems that they are too busy for making 3.5e) and, provably, we have not enough time to wait for their answer. So I want to consult you hard-core DnD players. How can I pronounce those words?

Word: Description

Blibdoolpoolp: Kuo-toas' deity
Deep Sashelas: deity of Aquatic Elf
Diirinka: deity of Derro
Eadro: deity of Locathah and Merfolk
grugach: Wild Elf
Hruggek: deity of Bugbear
illithid: Mind Flayer
Kapoacinth: A marine variety of gargoyle
Laduguer: deity of Duergar
Laogzed: Troglodytes' deity
Lolth: deity of Drow
malenti: a kind of Sahuagin Mutant (If it is a plural form, please tell
us its singular form. Maybe, "malent"?)
Mershaulk: Yuan-tis' deity
Maglubiyet: deity of Goblin
Scrag: Sea Troll
Sekolah: deity of Sahuagin
Semuanya: Lizardfolk's deity
Skerrit: deity of Centaur
Yeenoghu: deity of Gnoll

Thanks a lot in advance

As payment, you must now write up stats for Lina Inverse's Dragon Slave and Giga Slave, including Epic spellcraft DCs to develop them. STAT!
 

My responses are in italics below. They are all transliterated into the english form of the katakana.
