Ok... so this is kinda weird... but I always wonder how to pronounce some of the names.
Like Feanor. I always think of it as Fay-uh-nor... is that how it's supposed to be?
Cause fee-nor and feh-ah-nor sound kinda weird to me. :p
And names like Sauron... I've heard it pronounced sore-on, sahr-on, and sou-ron! It's confusing!
Anyone know how all the names are supposed to sound?

There's a great pronunciation guide in the back of most copies of the Silmarillion. :) I find the names impossible sometimes, too! In the end, I had to get the Silmarillion audio book to keep up with all the names and get the pronunciation right!

I think you've got Feanor right. :D ("Fay" as in hay?) And Sauron is pronounce "Sow-ron" with the ow as in town, according to the pronunciation guide I mentioned. :)

Ok, I have the sil... never looked in the back though. :P
It's a pretty weird one... it says "lord of the rings" in runes on the cover! lol! I'll see if it has the pronunciation guide. I hope it does.

I recently tried this essay writing service online and was genuinely impressed with the quality and professionalism. The writers clearly understand academic standards, and my paper was well-researched, properly formatted, and delivered on time https://www.analyticsinsight.net/tech-news/smartphones-as-study-hubs-best-practices-for-academic-productivity . What I liked most was the open communication with the writer, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. The service is reliable, especially for students juggling multiple deadlines. Prices are reasonable compared to the value you receive, and the plagiarism-free guarantee gives peace of mind. Overall, this platform is a great option for anyone needing academic support without compromising on quality or originality.
