PRONUNCIATIONS
The purpose of this section is for clarification to my readers about how intended unique words and proper names are meant to be pronounced. It has become the most popular question I have received, so I decided to create a page to better help your enjoyment and understanding.
ELVAN NAMES
On elvan proper names, if you see an "h" before a vowel, it becomes a long vowel. If you see an "h" after a long vowel, it becomes a short vowel, or if you see no "h" at all it generally intended as a short vowel. "Y"s are long "e"s in elvan, while they generally are translated as long "i" sounds in human tongues. If you see a "j" before an "h" expect it to be properly pronounced more like a "dshj".
