For the longest time I accepted that pronunciation, but in recent years I have grown rather disenchanted with it - largely due to the fact that the letter 'H' is not pronounced as clearly as it is written. I believe a more appropriate pronunciation would go something like this:

KIN-EYE-JJJJJJ-HHHHHH-IT

(You know you're saying it right when you're feeling like you're about to have a heart attack.)
I just say it as it's written, a one-syllable Jvan. Literally 'van' with a 'J' at the beginning. The J kind of melts into the V - and it does so quite well. Much easier than saying knight how it is spelt.

As for Y'van, which is what the Vetruvians call her. I actually pronounce it 'Ee-van'. Our local Jvan Evans.
@Kho BURN ME LIKE REVAN


I would, but I have been sealed away in the deepest pits of Tartarus, my hand - which alone could grip the whip and rip players from lip to hip - is chained and watched over by fifty-six of the most esteemed geomancers and their acolytes. And so, you are condemned to a life without burning, without ever tasting the liberating lash. Woe!
I tend to avoid over-thinking and just getting on with it. If I do over-think, the idea tends to die or lose its lustre.
@Vec Oh. Of all the ways it could have been misunderstood, I didn't think of that ^^'
Also also also.



If you know what this means, you know >.>
@Cyclone If a plot hole is solved, then it never existed to begin with.

Anyway, I've been hanging on to this music video for like, six months, in the hope of using it in the Vetros destruction post. But thought I might as well share it now. It's Yara's sound-track. If you listen very carefully near the beginning, it sounds like the singer is saying 'Yara'.

@Cyclone Does this mean I don't get to destroy Vetros in a glorious beam of a Realta flame in the next post? Because that's exactly what I'm doing >.> totally started that post and very nearly finished. But just for you *delete*

Bed. Bedtime. 6.30 am, but bedtime.
Welcome one and all - come in, come in, please. Can we get you anything? Anything at all? Tea? Biscuits? Oh me - tea and biscuits?- who offers just tea or just biscuits. Here, have a seat - the most comfortable seats *forcefully removes Vec and Conata from it* (aside: get a room you two).
@Antarctic Termite

And Dabbles sent forth his salutations - and no one heard him. For the mighty Ogres and the powerful Rukbans and the fierce Vetruvians - they were all too busy killin each other dammit.
