Asperity he/him Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 Just want to ask how to pronounce some words properly. I've been saying Galladon as "Galla-don" instead of "Gull-ah-don" (think "Aladdin") Heod as "Hoe-ed" and Reod as "Ree-odd" and Shaod as "Sha-odd"? Are any of these pronunciations correct?
Voidus Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 Brandon isn't really a stickler for pronunciation most of the time the only one I can correct is Galladon = Gall-ah-dawn from http://www.brandonsanderson.com/book/Elantris/page/40/Elantris-Pronunciation-Guide

Elantris for example is pronounced 'Ee-layn-triss', and Sarene is I think 'Sah-ree-nee' (correct me if I'm wrong). I think I was using the same pronunciation as yourself Kythis, apart from Shaod, which I pronounced 'Shay-odd'. 1
Glaring at the Survivor he/him Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 (edited) Sarene: Sah-reen Galladon: Gall-o-don/Gall-o-dawn Elantris: Ee-lan-triss Thats how I say them, because I don't know how. Edited October 3, 2012 by Stroniax 2
RavenclawWill73 he/him Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 I say them similar to you guys, I don't like sa-ree-nee, I said it like serene. I say galladon, gal-a-don, and hoed, and shaod the same as señor
Lady_Yasha she/her Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 (edited) Well I've been pronouncing "Vin" as the French form for wine ("vahn") until I found out that was wrong. I still pronounce it my way though. I'm not the best to have an opinion on pronunciations Edited October 23, 2012 by Lyrebon
