The word Entmoot.

emplynx · 04-14-2002, 06:50 PM

It is really hard to say Entmoot. Combining the "T" with the "M" is a vocal challenge. Anyone else think so?

Khadrane · 04-14-2002, 07:05 PM

Now that I think of it, I guess it is. I usually say it lazily by half leaving out the "t" though.

Treebeard's apprentice · 04-14-2002, 07:40 PM

Actually, I don't think I've ever said the word out loud, but now that I think of it, it is sort of a goofy word. I guess whenever I read it I would sort of say it in my head almost as two words. It's a little easier to say if you put the small pause between 't' and 'm'.

***azalea*** · 04-14-2002, 07:58 PM

This may not make sense to people who don't drive, but when I say it I come to a "rolling stop" at the first "t" rather than a complete stop. Did that make sense to anybody? I don't say enmoot, but I don't say enTmoot, either. It's somewhere in between.

Shadowfax · 04-14-2002, 08:11 PM

LOL azalea! Yah, but I've never really said it out loud until now. "Entmoot"! Hehe.

galadriel88 · 04-14-2002, 08:25 PM

Yeah, my t is kinda half there and half not. Not enmoot, and not enTUH mooTUH, bu..well, I can't really spell it...

***azalea*** · 04-14-2002, 08:31 PM

LOL! I love these spelled pronunciations!

Khadrane · 04-14-2002, 09:00 PM

Entmoot, entmoot, entmoot. It IS a really weird word.

galadriel88 · 04-14-2002, 09:49 PM

Yeah...ya ever wonder how Tolken came up eith the word ent? The first few times I read it I kept thinking of ants!

BeardofPants · 04-14-2002, 09:52 PM

*Voice heard from box*

Entmoot. EnTmoot. EntMoot. Hmmm....

Arathorn · 04-15-2002, 12:16 AM

I pronounce it with a silent or soft "T" enmoot, enmoot, enmoot...

FrodoFriend · 04-15-2002, 12:31 AM

The "t" ends up being pronounced only in the back of the throat but not with the teeth and tongue in front . . . like a half t.

How odd.

StrawberryIcecream · 04-15-2002, 05:52 AM

you do know you could just call it the tolkien trail board dont you?!

I say it with a very soft t. More like a d really. Endmoot

Menelvagor · 04-15-2002, 07:46 AM

Somehow, I make the 't' sound when my tongue touches the roof of my mouth, right before my lips close for the 'm' sound. it kinda comes out en-tmoot.

You'r right, Azalea, these pronouncations look really funny written down.

***Earniel*** · 04-15-2002, 01:54 PM

Funny I never gave it any thought. I just said 'entmoot' aloud a cople of times. It sounds somewhere between entmoot and endmoot.

like a d??? strange, but I think I say it like Enmoot and not like Endmoot.

I think we need to call it moot and it will solve the problams with its name.

Menelvagor · 04-15-2002, 02:44 PM

Yeah, the point is moot anyway.

eowyn144 · 04-15-2002, 02:58 PM

ah yes but then how do you pronounce the "ent" part? is it N with a t on the end? or is it ont like a frenchy kind of pronounciation type thing?

StrawberryIcecream · 04-15-2002, 03:40 PM

No way is it ont moot to me. That is how a pig would say it.

***Earniel*** · 04-15-2002, 03:51 PM

No a pig would probably say oinkmoot
