I started GMing a campaign several weeks ago. The runners' first run was to collect ash off the erupting Mt. Ranier. They had to go into the Salish-Shidhe council to do it. After saying it a few times, we all got a good laugh because it sounded like "Salish-Shitty Council." Seriously, try saying it fast. Is this really the right pronunciation?

Sidhe is pronounced Shee, I believe.

Yeah, Gaelic is really hard to pronounce.
Try Sgian Dubh (a knife, worn for decorative purposes mainly with a kilt). Seriously - it's completely different than you'd expect. Unless you're apparently quentra or redwulf. |

Closest attempt I could make as pronouncing Sgian Dubh would be Chee-an Duu and I've probably buggered it up completely. |

Oh, very nearly completely. The easiest way to type it out, for those of you who are curious, is "skeen doo." There are, as always with Gaelic, more complications, but that's very close to the actual pronunciation. Definitely a better guess than most people could do, though.
I'm sorry for derailing your thread, NONSENSUS. It was an accident, I swear! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif) |
