Questions on Pronunciation - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Tolkien nearly always hardly without exception had the e and the end of words pronounced. So it would be Nu-men-ore-ay.

I was thinkin since the e in Smeagol is accented the same way as in Theoden, it would me Smay-uh-gol. And just because they pronounce it in the movie a certain way does not mean it is correct. I happen to know for a fact that they pronounce Earendil wrong in the movie.
