Fal-zeek. It\'s the trouble with fantasy names, some are unpronounceable. Anyone else have enormas trouble thinking up names?
If I had a little wheelbarrow I could...

Mah-Sahj

I\'ve always pronounced dylia as: Di-Lee-ya  (short \'i\')
I\'ve always been switching karyuu\'s name between carry-you (sry bout that) and car-you.
There are two types of people in this world: The Pinky and the Brain.
Which one are you?

My current conclusion is that people tend to pronounce their fantasy game names in a way how they would be pronounced in Latin / German / Scandinavian languages :)
