3 Knight of Iron Posted June 1, 2021 Report Share Posted June 1, 2021 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 Chinkoln he/him Posted June 1, 2021 Report Share Posted June 1, 2021 I say it Moe-Ash According to Brandon, his fans can pronounce any name, anyway they want. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 a Faceless Immortal he/him Posted June 1, 2021 Report Share Posted June 1, 2021 Yeah 100% Mow Ash cause it sounds cooler. But I may change to saying Mowsh to make him not cool for .... reasons ... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 +Invocation Posted June 1, 2021 Report Share Posted June 1, 2021 I pronounce it "I hate you, you ungrateful storming cremling shell of a man." No seriously, I say it Mo + Ash. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Kingsdaughter613 she/her Posted June 1, 2021 Report Share Posted June 1, 2021 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... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to hear that confirmed, I always wondered if Moshe was his namesake. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 danex he/him Posted June 1, 2021 Report Share Posted June 1, 2021 One syllable. M-oa-sh (“oa” as in “boat”) he doesn’t deserve 2 syllables. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Shadesmar13 Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 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... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Stormblessed0421 he/him Posted October 17, 2021 Report Share Posted October 17, 2021 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 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 +Oltux72 he/him Posted October 18, 2021 Report Share Posted October 18, 2021 Brandon has stated that the "o" in Kholin is a closed vowel. So I pronounce Moash /moaʃ/. I am unsure about the stress. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Question
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).
