Abbadon -

I have noticed this ship said one of two ways:

A - bad - on.
Abba - don.


Never mind the pronunciation, you have to spell the damn thing right first. It is spelled A-B-A-D-D-O-N.

Rokh is a giant bird from Iranian stories. When i was a kid it was in a book about Sinbad. Rendered as Roc.
Arabic word so pronounced : Roke
But everybody calls it a Rock, baby.

Someone once brought a condor for a fleet roam. On comms he told FC he's bringing his instalock condom while rallying up.

Now try the Scandinavian Minmatar ones.

Watching a couple episodes of Vikings beforehand will help your pronunciation..

Rolling "r"s are mandatory.

We had a guy from Kentucky who used to pronounce Hyperion just like I said in that post, so the whole corp started putting "ion" after every ship name, until he pronounced it right.

And even after that it kinda became a thing, so we never really stopped.

I supposed things like that do stick haha

The one I can't pronounce is the Huginn (don't ask, I am fine with the Muninn), so I just call it a 'Huggy' because that's all it wants to do, envelope you in a warm embrace of 'naaaaaaw'. Totally Lol

Cheers Tippia, that link is great Big smile Although, gotta ask, the rest of that post, what are those letters/symbols/things next to the names. I'm guessing that they are pronunciation for latin maybe? But I am unsure...

Gotta say as well "Charon - Keiron"... I know Charon is from Greek Mythology, always assumed it was Sha - ron or Kha - ron.

Also, looking at that link, one of the first things I see from 2009 is the ION thing Jarod just mentioned!!

It's the IPA notation for the pronunciation.

Haha aye I knew that much, but I could never understand what the hell they actually are / the use of them anymore... I knew it was based on Latin and what not, but even so when I see these I always thing, must be an easier way that that... But, who am I to argue with the people who make this stuff up Smile Cheers for the post, reading through that thread now.
