Oh, and I say "demand-red" rather than "demon-dread." Probably because it's so similar to Damodred. And the fact that a baddie with both "demon" and "dread" in his name sounds to me like something straight out of Harry Potter. Sorry. :(

It does. And I forgot that one, I don't think I ever broke my habit of pronouncing it wrong.

This was a great thread, Luckers. I gotta say, it's really changed my position on Cadsuane. I'd already softened on her some, but the first time I read ACoS or TPoD I was just aching to see Rand bust her down to size. But you're right, she was handling him in probably the only way that would have worked.

I think I'm more in line with the glossary – though less so with the audiobooks, from what I've heard. I'm pretty sure this is proper IPA.

Go back and look where you placed the stress symbols -- do you really pronounce Elaida's name that way? What you wrote out would be pronounced UH-lie-duh. And do you really pronounce Morgase as MOR-gahz?

Anyway, I tend to try to pronounce them "right", per the glossary. However, I'm not always sure what Jordan meant -- the spelling is totally inconsistent and his pronunciations in the glossary are not always helpful. Like for instance the pronunciation of Semirhage's name ended in "GH". Uh, what's "GH" supposed to sound like? Because there's about five different ways it's used in English.

Oh, and for me, Mazrim Tame has always been, and will always remain Mazrim Tame.
