I've never known which was correct (or perhaps neither are).<br> <br> I too used to say sirith ungol, and it took me a while to stop that bad habit. <br> <br> <blockquote><i>Quote:</i></b><hr> The K sound seemed too gutteral for the Elven language.<hr></blockquote><br> With the Ks and the 'stronger' Rs, I think elven languages are fairly gutteral anyway. Presumably Icelandic and welsh are also a bit gutteral, although I wouldn't know for sure. <p></p>
