If anyone knows anything about dwarven names it's that it is pronounced 'uris-gosaghdat'

@Footjob, you can microwave most grains I've tried pretty easily through the microwave, even if they aren't packaged for it.

Cut and shut urine and wrist (no, not "wine"), but rarely if ever actually say it, usually just read it, so it doesn't really "sound" like anything to me.
Reminds me vaguely of UMIST.

Plagiarist

Put the bolded parts together, as pronounced in those words. That's how I pronounce it. But I've also heard the Ur pronounced as in Urn.

When I read it casually, it always comes out yer-ist, but when I'm seriously trying to picture what the names must sound like, it's more like oor-eest.

Where is the chemistry
They tried chemistry once.
It created soap.
Dwarves lost interest in chemistry after that.

I pronounce it u-RIST. The 'u' is nearly silent. I also pronounce it the way those letters are pronounced in Finnish, because I have yet to say to it in anything but otherwise Finnish sentence. I suppose if I ever spoke it in an English sentence, it would be more like JUU-rist.

Oo-rist.
Yep, this.

This would also be the German pronounciation.
Oo-rist with the i in rist being an e

That last one was awesome :D

Anyways, who decided that Dwarves are Scottish?
Or do we have Gimli to thank for that?
