[The Barrow-Wight]

<BR><br><br> When I first read the books in High School I automatically made all the C's as S's where it seemed appropriate. The K sound seemed too gutteral for the Elven language. Even today I struggled with the K sound, and when I hear it pronounced (correctly) by others I must often process the information for a moment until I realize what word was actually said. The reading of the Lord of the Rings had many instances of this.<br> <br> Other examples of my attrocious M-E pronunciations are Eee-oh-mur and Dunn-uh-dane. <br> <br> Heck, I didn't even pronounce the professor's last name correctly until recently. And I really don't know if I've gotten it right yet. <p>The Barrow-Wight (RKittle)<br> I usually haunt <a href="http://www.barrowdowns.com">The Barrow-Downs</a> and The Barrow-Downs <a href="http://www.barrowdowns.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi">Middle-Earth Discussion Board</a>.</p>
