The word Entmoot. - Page 2

StrawberryIcecream · 04-15-2002, 03:58 PM

I had that in my mind when i typed my post. You must have got it from me psycically.

Wulažg · 04-15-2002, 06:36 PM

Why don't we keep the pronunciations simple by doing this all in Old English, with its myriad "th" sounds? Or better yet, Tengwar! The "t" sound should actually at least be a grade 2, probably more like a Grade 4.

Pailan · 04-16-2002, 11:37 AM

I don't know mooters... I find that when I say the word aloud I achieve full, hard "T" sound. It's a compound word and lends itself to sounding like two words, said rapidly. Zippy the Pin Head would have fun with this word.

Entmoot is an odd word... I like it.

***azalea*** · 04-16-2002, 09:20 PM

There are plenty of words in the books that are challenging to the mouth. Khazad-Dum: do you say it Khaza-dum, Khazadum, or KhazaD-Dum?

TinuvielChild · 04-16-2002, 09:27 PM

i say it "Hkhazadum" (the first "hkh" is meant to be like the German "ch", i couldn't figure out how to write it)

***azalea*** · 04-16-2002, 09:32 PM

Me, too.

***Earniel*** · 04-17-2002, 01:33 PM

I pronounce it something like "Kha'zaddum".

eowyn144 · 04-17-2002, 01:38 PM

personally i say KhazaD-Dum

Me? I just sneeze. I keep some ground pepper around when I read LotR out loud.

eowyn144 · 04-17-2002, 02:27 PM

great. now i'll never be able to sneeze without thinking about lotr. just another aspect of my life to be taken over. only about 4 left to go now.

Glorious Glorfindel · 04-17-2002, 03:32 PM

you see, if you don't want to humiliate yourself by mispronouncing or in my case mis SPELLING things, you just avoid the word and replace it with others! so for the bridge of khazad dum, i just say the big door place with the horrible tenticle thing. for entmoot, i should probably just use 'the place where all the looney-bins go!'
no offence you guys!

you really says Khazad-Dum? you can say it in a sentences and say it fast? I can't.

Arathorn · 04-17-2002, 08:36 PM

after a while it starts sounding like cuss-a-doom

galadriel88 · 04-17-2002, 10:31 PM

LOL

Just curious..is it Khazad - DOOM or Khazad DUMB?

***Khamûl*** · 04-17-2002, 11:04 PM

Quote:

Probably k-haza'd doom (the 'k' and 'h' sounds should be pronounced separately; 'k-h' is used to emphasise this)

Quote:

Tolkien gives us little information about the pronunciation of Dwarvish names. With the exception of the note regarding 'k-h', this pronunciation is conjectural.

Oh, OK, thanks, Khamul! That's how I've been saying it, ony I made my h silent.

***azalea*** · 04-18-2002, 08:47 AM

Okay, so how about Rohirrim?

Roh ir im?
Roh Heer im?
Roh Hir im

And do you trill the "r"s?

I tend to go with the second one and trill both "r"s. But those are noises from inside my head (not to be confused with voices.)

I usually go with Ro hir eem
