✭✭✭✭✭Ark a nistjust pronounce it however you want to.
i think i usually pronounce it like "ar-ká-nist" but i've likely also said "ar-ké-nist/ar-kae-nist"
"arka-nist"?
im pretty sure arcane or arcana is what it stems from, not just one of the twomiaow! i'm Luna ( she/her ).

Yeah, you're right. At least that's how Dictionary.com pronounces it.
Yeah I’m not like a stickler or anything and I have horrible grammar. It’s just how I usually say things even sometimes when it’s wrong i sort of start at the root word.1 -

✭None of those. I'm French and with my accent, it sounds nearly like: "rcanist" , with the "a" of "can" sounding like the the virtual "a" at the beginning when you pronounce letter "r", as in a rather muffled "a".Edited by DreamyLu on 21 April 2023 03:45I'm out of my mind, feel free to leave a message...

I'm having trouble understanding how that's different to Are Ka Nist. Doesn't this mean the KA has a muffled a? Like in "say ahhh" or "awful?"Edited by spartaxoxo on 21 April 2023 04:030 -

✭✭✭✭✭Ark a nistAr-can-ist
So stress on the first syllable, soft C but a hard N like in can, not a soft one like in cane.
I'm British (southern England specifically) so my accent will be different to any of the American ones, but I'm not sure how much of that is my accent and how much is just how I read the word. I couldn't find a free British dictionary with a recording of someone saying it.
Most of the time I only think about how I'm saying it because I'm trying to stop myself saying anarchist. (I'm currently considering creating a character who is both.)PC EU player | She/her/hers | PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!

So am I lol but I still say Ar ka nist lol, and I’m southern to boot
Even Zos calls it that. The early example where someone used Lorkhan doesn’t work because the emphasis comes from the kh. There isn’t any in arcanist. There’s no e, and the word isn’t arcane. It’s clearly pronounced Ar can ist. Sound it out y’all.Edited by BardokRedSnow on 21 April 2023 09:48Zos then: Vengeance is just a test bro

No matter how you pronounce it, Warlock sounds a lot cooler than Arcanist. Edited by Aztrias on 21 April 2023 10:12Welcome Moon-and-Star to this place where destiny is made

- Stam-can-ist

It almost sounds like it was some kind of "canned food" or some kind of canister with crux.

Holycannoli✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭In my head it's
ar-CAN-ist
I can't see it as ar-CANE-ist or anything with CANE because there's no E in the word. The only other acceptable pronunciation to my brain is emphasis on the AR instead of CAN, AR-can-ist. That works too.

I’m northern too boot. And the dictionary even says ar-cane-ist the root word is arcane not arcan that’s not a word. I did sound it out you all.Edited by isadoraisacat on 21 April 2023 14:371 -

This is why we stick together so much.
The other way people say it reminds me of when people say aunt (ant) alike awnt or pa-cahns for pecans (pee cans). That’s definitely all southern stuff or maybe mid west people do that stuff.Edited by isadoraisacat on 21 April 2023 14:411 -

Mik195✭✭✭✭✭Ark a nistIts going to depend. If I'm describing the character for the first time, it will probably be ar-cane-nist (yes, with an extra n). But that takes forever to say so I'm fairly sure I'll be reducing ithe "cane" to a simple "k" sound so ending with something like "ar-k sound-nst."Edited by Mik195 on 21 April 2023 16:580 -

It’s necro potence for me (I used that set for a while) you just combine the literal 2 words and that’s it1
