someonelse Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 We all know that Morrowind includes many long and hard to pronounce names of people and places. So my question is, do you intentionally or accidentally call things by the wrong name for amusement or out of frustration?For instance, I have called: Caius, CaiphasNerevarrine, Never-never-ineHortator, Potatoand Tel Branora, Tel Granola Please tell me I'm not the only one.

Malchik Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 On these forums I use Nectarine for Nerevarine (I think it originated with wesay but I might be wrong there). In game I tend not to talk to myself but such words as I use are of the kind that would not be permitted on these forums. In mild terms it might translate into 'oh dear, what a pity, here is another one of those troublesome cliff racers, I do wish they would go away'. I can convey this adequately with one or two words. They are not funny nicknames though. On the odd occasions there are two of us playing I have been known to refer to Golden Stains (what's left after we have caramalised them) and wigged twiglets but I can't think of any more.

Pack Rat Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 I still dont know how to pronouce "Redoran". How do you pronounce it? You use a french accent or just plain english? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dradum_Fairoak Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 I believe it is the RED that is emphasised, as opposed to DOR...so I guess it is a bit of a French accent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ObsidianKnight Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 Hlaalu. How is the "aa" pronounced? Is is AY, or AH, or what? Daedra. Is is DAY-dra, or DIE-dra? Oh, yeah, and each and every of those ludicrously named Daedric shrines.And don't get me started on those crazy Dunmer names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesaynothin Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 (edited) On these forums I use Nectarine for Nerevarine (I think it originated with wesay but I might be wrong there). Someone remembers that? Wow... I'm speechless. It was a fun fight of course, until Switch threatened to lock the thread... ^_^ (oh yeah, it wasnt me.. I was just there...)-------------------------------- Well, to confuse my parents I often say I'm the Nectarine, grand Implosion of Vanguardland... And until recently I called Hasphat Antoblis Hazmat Asphault... Hlaalu. How is the "aa" pronounced? Is is AY, or AH, or what? Daedra. Is is DAY-dra, or DIE-dra? Not sure about Hlaalu, (I say it hl-AH-lu), but for Daedra it is d-AY-Eh-dra Edited January 30, 2004 by wesaynothin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saldrex Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 I always called Hla Oad, Hail Oad. I also call Dagon Fel, Dragon Fel. I always call Tel Branora, Tel Brandora (probably because or Sadrith Mora and its "d"). Also the man from the begining of the main quest named Caius, i call him Casus.
