    My questions are just like the subject says. How do you pronounce:

    Joruus C'baoth
    Tschel
    Nkllon
    Kashyyyk
    Pellaeon
    Bpfassh


    If you do know, please add on to this board with the pronuntiation (example: You pronounce "pronunciation" like pro-noun-see-aye-shun.)

    Thanks

    This is just the way I pronounced them in my head (and in discussions with friends) but this isn't based on anything but my own interpretation... like everything else.

    Joruus C'baoth..... Jor-oos Sa-both
    Tschel............. Shell
    Nkllon............. N-klon
    Kashyyyk........... Ca-sheek
    Pellaeon........... Pay-lee-on
    Bpfassh............ B-fash

    Zahn himself said that Joruus C'baoth = Jor-oo'-us Sah-bay'-uth. I guess that would make Luuke "Loo'-uk". :)

    I've always said Pellaeon as "Pelly'-un" and Nkklon as "Nick-lon'", but what do I know.
