So after doing some further digging, I have discovered that when RJ puts anywhere in his “phonetics” the “eye” together he wants you to pronounce it like the 2 things we see from. Watching lots of different videos of different pronunciations, there was at least 1 source that seemed like the most knowledgeable (the Wheel Of Time Community Show on YouTube especially Ebony). So Carhien is supposed to be kai(k-eye as in eyeballs)-re(as in repeat or redo)-in(like inside or tin) I would spell it like this Kairihen. Aes Sedai is eye(as in eyeballs)-is(as in hiss) Suh(like such without the c)-die(like to die/death) I would spell it like this Ieyis Sedigh. Lan they say it’s like lawn, but it’s not quite the same it more like Lon or Lahn for instance my grandfather’s name was Lonny like Johnny with an L. So I would have spelled his name either Lon or Lahn.

The reason why I’m trying to get this all clear in my head is because I am in the beginning of the second book. Knowing that I’ll be watching a show based off of them soon, I don’t want to have the wrong pronunciations solid in my brain or else I won’t be able to enjoy the show because I will be too distracted from everything being pronounced differently. My husband grew up reading these books and has been trying to get me to start them for a while, but having Narcolepsy and 2 little kids makes it hard to read books. But, I’m finally getting to them because I’m reading them aloud to my 2 year old to help him fall asleep. Sometimes I read to him for quite a while after he’s asleep though lol.

Does no one else see Nynavae and think Nin-uh-vay (nin like pin, vay like bay). Look closely and tell me that doesn’t make the most sense? Or am I crazy?

Also, I have been looking everywhere to find somewhere I can listen to someone pronounce Cairhien for me because these  “phonetics” he wrote make no sense to me sometimes. If anyone can put a link, I would greatly appreciate it. All the links I’ve found don’t work anymore
