I've always wondered if Ghzan was pronounced "gahn" or "zaan." Now I know.

I've always thought of it as either Kuh-mow (as in 'ouch', not 'mow the lawn' ;D ) or Ka-ma-u, pronounced Japanese style.

I think I remember Kamau saying it was
kam-ow (as in 'cow').

Yeah Suikodenmad got it right. Thanks, I couldn't be bothered to explain it again.
Beryllus = beh-rill-us (+ear for Beryllusir) Yanuke = yan-oo-keh Marael = mar-ay-ell Jenouille = jon-wee (soft J, it's a French-styled name) Ysud = yuh-sood

I always wondered if Kuti is supposed to sound like "Cutie" or just the way it's spelled, koo-tee.

About the voice thing...I had something similar happen to me. For Final Fantsy, I always thought chocobo was pronouced "cho-co-boo" until FF10, where they said "cho-co-boh". Maybe voices could help...that is why I make Legion Warriors.

ARGH I hated they way they pronounced chocobo in FF10! It's clearly choco (like in chocolate) then bo like in... hobo.

'Kamau' is African for 'Silent Warrior'. There are many Kamau's in Africa believe it or not. I found out in one of my english lessons when I read a poem called 'Ogun' (African god of iron (i think)) by a poet called 'Edward 'Kamau' Braithwaite'.
As for LS pronunciations, I remember posting a similar topic at the old Town around Christmas 2001, just before I was banned. From what I remember Kamau telling me, here are some others:-
Scheksu- Sheck-Soo. Roshgarde- Rosh-Gar-Day. Higanasu- Hee-Gan-Arse-Oo (Yeah, it has 'arse' in it). Mikoto- Mee-Ko-Toe. Eijin- Ay-Jin. Dansa- Dan-Za. Yanuke- Yan-Oo-Kay. Kegan- Kay-Gan. And these are my own pronunciations:-
Shotan- Show-Tan. Taisu- Tie-Zoo. Veramonde- Vera-Mon-Day (How I used to pronounce it). Rautzen- Rowt-Zun. Ossal- Oss-Ul. Igou- Eye-Goo (Could be I-Gow).
That's all I can think of right now.

Igou is pronounced "EE-go-oo". It can be said without the "oo" at then end I believe.
