Just call the whole thing unpronounceable, then everyone gets to refer to you as 'the player formerly known as Luna'.

The "Siu" in Cantonese is hard for us westerners to pronounce, but if you know French or German you can get close to the vowel sound. In German, it's like a "u" with an umlaut. In French, it's like, well, a "u", as in "tu" or "cul". If you just like Chinese food, especially Dim-Sum (a cantonese specialty), think of "Siu-Mai" - it's the same adjective, same pronunciation.

Of course, that's not accounting for the tone aspect of the word, which I have no clue how to explain or pronounce. Chinese is hard.

**Quarath** · 10-26-2006, 07:04 PM

here is the appropriate pronounciation.

Q with the (uarathtg) being silent.

For you who insist on trying it would be (Quā-rath) with a long first ā the "tg" is silent it was put in because I had no idea there was in game guild tags when I first started and in most other Tactical gamer games some sort of TG association was used... I would change it and remove the tg if I could.

**Arkamis** · 10-27-2006, 02:55 AM

My character's name is pronounced "noob".

**Sabre Six** · 10-27-2006, 09:43 AM

Most just call me Sabre, which is fine...because I realize immediately that your talking to me. I actually have to think about it, when I'm called Yoda...ooh that's me.

I also answer to: "hey you, don't aggro the trolls,...nvm, just die please!"

Yoddea = Yoda , like the little green dude
Celebrian = Ka LAA bree in
Gaemle = GIM lee

the rest really don't matter, Sabre works.

Akira ---> Uh-Kare-Rah

^^

**LadyAbyss** · 11-05-2006, 11:48 AM

LadyAbyss - Lay-dee-Ah-biss
Ladywraith - Lay-dee-ray-th

Everyone probably knows how to pronounce it but I'll throw it in just in case.
