How do you pronounce... - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Does Feanor have the two dots over the 'e'? If so, then it is pronounced 'Fee-ah-nor.' Otherwise, it should be pronounced 'Fee-nor.' I always say 'Fee-ah-nor.'

Since both Eomer and Eowyn have a dash over the first 'e', it should be pronounced 'Ee-oh-mer' and 'Ee-oh-win.' The 'e' in Smeagol also has a dash over it so it should be pronounced 'Smee-goal.'

I'm 97.3% sure that this is right. Hope it helps!
