Pronunciation in Wheel of Time Books Posted February 9, 2016 I keep putting i's in more convenient places without realizing it. 12 books later and I just realized it's spelled Elaida and not Eladia. Generally if a name is complicated my subconscious says," Screw grammar!" and strips it down to whatever is easiest. For me: Egwene is Eg-ween Nynaeve is Nine-ave Elaida is Ela-dia Asmodean is Asmo-de-in Gawyn is Gone Morgase is More-giss Rhuarc is Ru-arc Graendal is Ghran-dall Semirhage is Simmer-Hage
