Pronunciations:
How do say that name again?
At DragonCon 1999, I learned the proper
pronunciation of many Pernese names and places (and a few non-Pern names). This
information wasn't formally presented, but I picked it from from how Anne said names, and
from her son Todd who presumably learned from Anne, and a few names I learned from Harry
& Marilyn Alm who have had lots of contact with Anne over all things Pernese.
Eventually I'll try to add to this list the proper phonetic symbols, but for now I'm just
going to write things out in what I hope are more obviously pronounced syllables.
word | pronunciation | symbols |
Nimisha | ni-mish-uh (short i's, no stressed syllable) |
|
Moreta | more-et-uh (long o, short e and a) |
|
lots more to come as I have time...
