Pronouncing K tribe names |

Hi everyone. 

Just a quick question. I've known a good while they the K for the Seeker tribe is pronounced 'Koo'. But I had always assumed that was just the tribe name and when actually saying names, such as K'hylia, it would be a regular sounding K such as 'Kai-lia'. 

Is that wrong? I think it probably is, which is a little sad because I don't like how the name sounds the proper way. How are the K tribe names supposed to be pronounced?

basically the K tribe names would be pronounced with the proper Koo, anything else would not be the tribe at all. 

So like, since it's a short Koo, a name like K'yaki would be KooYAkee, something like that. The tribal pronunciation can be dropped between friends, where that miqo'te's name would just be Yakee. Just the same as how X'vett would be She-vett, not ex-vett Smile

I hope that helped

Noooo. My name sounds awful! T.T

Well, thanks for confirming what I pretty much knew was true! Bah!

I don't think it's awful (though most miqo'te names are pretty odd pronounciation wise to us anyway), I think it's pretty...
koo'.

Yeah, sounds okay on its own. Mixed with the rest of the name it isn't quite as nice as what I'd been imagining!

-petpetpet- That's ok! I'm sorry you don't like it as much, but I'd be glad to help you figure out a name that flows better with the koo if you were set on that tribe and wanted to change the rest of her name
