Pronouncing K tribe names - K'hylia - 09-15-2015 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? RE: Pronouncing K tribe names - Naoh'ra - 09-15-2015 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 I hope that helped RE: Pronouncing K tribe names - K'hylia - 09-15-2015 Noooo. My name sounds awful! T.T Well, thanks for confirming what I pretty much knew was true! Bah! RE: Pronouncing K tribe names - Naoh'ra - 09-15-2015 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'. B) RE: Pronouncing K tribe names - K'hylia - 09-15-2015 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! RE: Pronouncing K tribe names - Naoh'ra - 09-15-2015 -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 RE: Pronouncing K tribe names - K'hylia - 09-15-2015 Oh gosh, no. I've been RPing Lia well over a year now. Couldn't change her name! RE: Pronouncing K tribe names - Naoh'ra - 09-15-2015 That's ok! -hugs- I hope all goes well with you and her!
