Urth Dictionary and Pronunciation Guide
I could never remember all the keys for pronunciation used in every standard dictionary. /ˈfabyələs/ I thought up this method that was easy and clear to me and hopefully others. I started doing this because I would read old notes and I couldn't figure out how I meant to pronounce some word or name. LOL
RULES:
Lich (LIt+CHair),
tiefling (TEA+For bLING),
Faerûn (FAte RUNE),
Mordenkainen - (MORE DINner CApe N+INN), this one is a bit of a mouthful It may help if you say each word wholly, then repeat using only the parts in caps. GEOGRAPHY
- Pronounce only the part of each word that is in CAPS. EXAMPLE: (GUn) pronounced the begining of GUN, "GUH" (BRain+tACK) Rhymes with "TACK"
- A +plus sign means those two sounds are a single syllable. A silly example would be FATTEST (For+pAT TEST))
- BOLD is the accented or accentuated syllable. Usually slighter louder, higher pitch, or slower. (SUE PERson) vs. (SUE PER+But)
