    This has probably been asked before (this is my very first post on this board...Hi, everyone!) -- so I apologize in advance -- but it's a point of contention between myself and a friend:

    I say it's pronounced like JORE-US KA-BAH-TH, while my friend insists on JORE-OO-US KA-BOW-TH (which just sounds dumb to me).

    Are either of us right?

    Thanks!

    jor-us su-ba-oth (New Essential Guide to Characters). It's meant to be Sabaoth, rather than Kabaoth.

    Kwenn is correct, but I believe it's "jore-us" for the Jedi Master and "jore-oos" for the clone.

    <-- That's the correct spelling. C'boath is the most common misspelling, along with Timothy "Zhan".

    Zahn himself has been quoted as saying it's pronounced "sabbaoth".

    I did a little research on this and came up with an audio book that had the name of the clone pronounced "Jor-Us Sa-Boweth" - pronounce the 'owe' just as you would if you were hurt and it fits.
