How do you pronounce "Moash?"

[BreezeCauthon he/him]

Is it Mo-ash or Mowsh? Or something else entirely?

I've always done it Mowsh, but my mom has been reading Stormlight and insists it is Mo-ash. So I wanted an arbiter (rep level pun definitely intended).

Mow Ash.

Which now, to me, sounds like an activity one might find themselves doing on Scadrial, though for what reason I couldn't fathom.

[Chinkoln he/him]

I say it Moe-Ash

According to Brandon, his fans can pronounce any name, anyway they want.

Definitely Mo(w)-Ash with a short a

But that’s just my opinion

Added (w) same sound (mow) but just more clear that’s what I meant

[a Faceless Immortal he/him]

Yeah 100% Mow Ash cause it sounds cooler.
But I may change to saying Mowsh to make him not cool for .... reasons ...

I pronounce it "I hate you, you ungrateful storming cremling shell of a man."

No seriously, I say it Mo + Ash.

[Spren of Kindness she/her]

Mow-ash.

[Frustration]

Mo' ash

[Kingsdaughter613 she/her]

Mo-ash. It helps to remember that he was named for a man called Mo-she. Who apparently found his name being given for one of the Cosmere’s most hated characters amusing...

Good to hear that confirmed, I always wondered if Moshe was his namesake.

One syllable. M-oa-sh  (“oa” as in “boat”)

he doesn’t deserve 2 syllables. 

[Shadesmar13]

In the audiobook it was pronounced MOW-ash. From my experience the audiobooks are usually right about name pronunciations, but it's annoying if you had been erroneously pronouncing a name in your head...

[Stormblessed0421 he/him]

I say “mosh” (like boat), but I’m probably wrong. I can’t make my brain say it right, though, so I’m just going to go with it

Brandon has stated that the "o" in Kholin is a closed vowel. So I pronounce Moash /moaʃ/. I am unsure about the stress.
