Translation team fo DnD 3e Japanese edition need your help again! (Pronunciations)

[Shin Okada]

Hi! We need you honorable gamers' help again. How can we pronounce those words? We are asking same questions to WotC but they seem too busy or just not sure about it.

I know each english speakers may read them differently. But at least your opinion will help us deciding how to transliterate those words.

[RangerWickett]

Being vaguely literate with Japanese, here's how I'd transliterate them into Katakana.

I'm assuming the standard a-i-u-e-o set up. An apostrophe (') will represent a small tsu for a pause. And a double dash (--) will represent a stretched sound.

*Name *Page (MM-II)
Abeil - A be ru
Asperi - A su pe -- ri
Avolakia - A bo ra ki a
Ocanthus(4th layer of Acheron) - O ka n sa su (sounds very similar to Arkansas, now that I think about it).
Zornor(City in Ocanthus) - Zo no ru
Bogun - Bo ga n
Braxat - Bu ra ku sa to
Corollax - Ko ro ra ku su
Desmodu - De su mo du
notbora (Desumodus' weapon) - No to bo ra
Vesperian (Desumodus' deity) - Be su pe -- ri a n
Fihyr - Fu i ru (I don't know what the convention is for combinging fu and i to make a fi sound)
Galeb duhr - Ga re bu du ru
Gambol - Ga n bo ru
Gravorg - Gu ra bo gu
Grell - Gu re ru
durzagon (Half-fiend) Du ra za go n
Immoth - I mo su
Ixitxachitl - I got stuck on the Ixi-word one. I don't even know how to pronounce that in English. I think the appropriate thing to do would be to make it as hard to say as possible in Japanese. So I ku zi tsu za chi to ru.

 

[tarchon]

I think I would translate these two rather than transliterate them:

Mooncalf 150

Compound of "moon" and "calf"

Myconid 154

Is sort of derived from a couple Greek root words that suggest it's a fungus creature, and they are alternatively called "fungus men," so probably you should use some Japanese equivalent for "fungus people."

 

[hong]

Myconid 154

Is sort of derived from a couple Greek root words that suggest it's a fungus creature, and they are alternatively called "fungus men," so probably you should use some Japanese equivalent for "fungus people."

"Tetsuo's turning into a mushroom again! Someone stop him!"

 

[Lalato]

Ixitxachitl - I got stuck on the Ixi-word one. I don't even know how to pronounce that in English. I think the appropriate thing to do would be to make it as hard to say as possible in Japanese. So I ku zi tsu za chi to ru.

This word is based on Aztec/Mayan/Toltec. So pronunciation would be...

Ish-it-SHAK-it-uhl

 

[Benben]

Lalato, you beat me to it. I was about to comment on people thinking the Xs in Ixitxachitl were a "ks" sound.
