I find it interesting how oddly some people pronounce the semi-common "oi" suffix...

My mum says - Cantra

(My mum?! Yeah she says, "what's all this Cantra crap on the computer" :x Parents :roll: )

Baaak:= Bahk (long ah sound, ie as in "hark hark the lark" but without the r)
Blojt:= Bloit (but just a hint of tch at the end)
Cantr:= Cantr(e) with a French roll to the "r".
Doryiskom:= Dory-yis-kom (I definitely break the "y" sound like that)
Djorf:= Dyorf
Drojf: = Droif
Kiii:= Ki-i (shortish both, like some endings in Latin)
Klojt:= Kloit (but just a hint of tch at the end)
Ladvicitavoi:= Lad-vee-see-ta-voy
Moku:= Moku (both vowels short)
Olipifirovash:= Olipi-firovash (so the emphases are mainly on lip and fir)
Quillanoi:= Kwilla-noy (emphasis muchly on Kwil)
Siom:= Sigh-om (emphasis on Sigh, rather like as in Zion)
Sjoftich:= Shof-tich (but the ch as in Scottish "Loch")
Tircqi:= tir-Kee (with more empahsis on the Kee)
Mulof:= Mee-lof (but with the lips more rounded like the German umlaut u, but a bit shorter)

I say Tic-ree for that one.

I'm one of those people who when they see a word they automaticly think its something, even if they know its the wrong pronounciation...

I remember when i first read Harry Potter (ew) I pronounced Hermione (bad spelling) "Hemorine" heehe...

I remember that one guy she dated. Who would date someone who can't even pronounce you're name? I pronounced it right, though most of family also read it. Back to topic, though I don't have anything else to say. :(
