Re: Re: names
At least "Javra" is pronounceable. That's one of my biggest pet peeves in fantasy - god-awful names that one can't possibly twist a tongue around. Gets me all distracted, subvocalizing, trying despite knowing it can't be done by mere mortals. (Or maybe native speakers of Finnish or Welsh, or something - all those consonants and glottal stops! Good lord.)

"No, violence is never the answer!" cried K'thr'stulvgranth'ikal.

Shit. Another book hits the dustbin, and now I have hiccups, to boot. Damn those fantasy writers! *Laugh*
