"Rkindaleft" Pronounciation
After managing to snag the awesome deal on Orsinimium dlc, I have completed most of the content. One of the last major things I have to do is the Rkindaleft public dungeon. And I can't in good conscience do it without figuring out how to pronounce it first. Any help is of course appreciated.

Many of us thought of it as 'Droo' based on the fact it was unpronounced in Morrowind. Now we have it pronounced by characters in game so I have actually changed my pronunciation because of it to 'Dreg'. I also think of it as R'kin-da-left. One way to make it easier to say is to say 'Erkindaleft' or Reh-kindaleft, and simply make the 'e' sound as minimal as possible. There are similarities in other real world languages for such things.Edited by dodgehopper_ESO on December 3, 2016 11:02PMUS/AD - Dodge Hopper - Vet Imperial Templar | US/AD - Goj-ei-Raj - Vet Argonian Nightblade

✭✭✭✭✭The 'R' is pronounced by itself, then the rest of the name. So it's like this;

There are guildmates I talk to sometimes that pronounce it like "Droog-wax" and I force myself to keep from busting in and correcting them. If we don't know for sure the pronunciation then I can forgive but there are NPC's everywhere that say it to you, there's no reason for people to get it wrong.

That's just our minds trying to make sense of an odd spelling. When it's just the letter 'R' at the beginning you pronounce it like you're saying just "R", and then the rest of the name.CP2,100 Master Explorer - AvA Two Star Warlord - Console Peasant - Khajiiti Aficionado - The Clan

✭✭✭✭✭Dwemer names aren't meant to be pronounced. When ancient Dwemer needed to name things, they just threw pepper in the face of some random hobo and copied down his sneeze for the name.Edited by redspecter23 on December 4, 2016 3:14AM6 -
czar✭✭✭✭I imagine it's kind of like Tbilisi. Which is not pronounced Tibilisi. It's just T-bili-si.
So that makes it R-kin-da-left in my head.Edited by czar on December 4, 2016 3:13AMstam scrub1 -

✭I have heard that if word in tes world starts with rk, it means rest of it is silent and when you pronounce it you need to put "o" in front of it.
So yeah properly pronounced its:

It depends on your native language. Pronouncing these consonant clusters is usually difficult for English speakers, but some of us have similar sounds in our languages and don't find the spelling odd at all.Astanphaeus wrote: »Ruh-kin-dull-leftI say 'Reh-kin-delft'
