i tried to figure out the pronunciations once years ago and just gave up i liked mine better
aes sedai- ace said E(kinda flows into just two syllables though)
moraine - more rain
ewgene - U gene(i knew that was way off so was suprised when i saw something like it on this thread--great minds ;D)
birgitte - brrr jet or jeet(kinda changes sometimes)
aiel- ale
i read the books for years, over and over, and just recently listened to the audiobooks. i knew the names would be different but i was amazed how about half of my names were right but the others were so very off. birgitte for example i think is the most bizzare pronunciation i ever heard
anyone else read a "D" into emond's field(edmond's field). i dont really know how i did that but i didnt notice until someone pointed it out to me after i was on book 4 or 5....i still read it as edmond's field though.
