I thought you were a ripe grape

Haruchai, the DW way:

Ha-roo-ki
[soft 'H', almost unpronounced, like the 'h' in hour]
[long i: 'ki' pronounced like 'eye' with a 'k' in front of it]

Dunno if that's the way SRD intended, but I can't look at it any other way. DW is inflexible that way.

We're going nowhere slowly, but we're seeing all the sights.
And we're definitely going to hell, but we'll have all the best stories to tell.

I'm exactly like that. Often when I go back and study the word I find it has nothing to do with how *I* think it's pronounced.
Start where you are,

I know I have usually been "off" when it comes to pronuoncing words - I sometimes mix up letter sounds - unlike the way they are spelled - but reading can be a very personal experience - to each his own:

Haruchai - Har-ŭ-chī
caesure - say-zure
Coercri - Ko-err-krī
Loerya - low-er-ya
Verement - vair-ă-ment
Mhoram - more-im
Brathairealm - brath-air-relm - some times brother-relm
Atiaran - a-tear-ē-an
Ranyhyn - ran-ē-hin
Waynhim - wain-ē-him or wain-him
Melenkurion - mel-on-cure-ē-on
sarangrave say-rr-an-grave
Heregorm - hair-groom <yes I read it this way and just now noticed it is "or">

This is a fun thread!
