Styrm put two fingers to his forehead and thought hard. He could read, but he didn't have nearly the internal catalogue of words that Taru did. Sure enough, ah was the next sound, but was it A or O? He'd never seen the name Joz written, so he wasn't entirely sure. He traced out the letters on the floor in front of him, brow furrowed; J-A-Z. Nah, he shook his head, 'at don' look right.
He looked up at Joz and shook his head. "Yer close, but I think i's this'un," he said as he flipped to the O. He traced the slightly oblong curves of the letter as he spoke.
"O," he said, "like the shape yer lips make when ye say 'er."
