ok, then. Ummm, literally? anglified? With over-emphasized southern accent? Basically i pronounced every sound I saw in a language where you are supposed to ignore the last half of every word and slur them as if you have had too much wine.  Ah, gotcha! Sounds like you had a lot of fun pissing some people off.  The next time I talk to Jim, I'll ask him. Does anyone else have any Aleran words they want me to have him pronounce while I'm at it?
I still wanna know what the different regions/accents correspond to in our experience (e.g., is there a slow, drawled, southern-ish accent, a fast, clipped one, etc.?). |

Jim: Prince-epps. I believe the official latin is Prin-keps, though. Me: yeah, I've been saying it with a soft c. And that's how it's pronounced on the audio version. I guess that's the advantage of having two millennia of cultural and linguistic evolution to play with--you can throw "official Latin" pronunciation out the window, should you desire. Jim: Indeed. And I reveled in it. Tavi is TAH-vee.

Oh well. *bows to Jim's superior word-fu* A rose by any other name is still as wicked smaaat!  |

Priscellie, did I miss the bunnies in FLF? Were they hidden? I didn't see the bunnies.  Maybe I read too fast. I was looking forward to the bunnies.  |

They're snow bunnies. The Icemen are bonded to them - unlike the Marat, their chala cannot be seen. 'Cause, y'know, they're white, and there's snow.
