Question: Is Anduril pronounced ANduril or AnDURil or AndurIL? A friend wanted to know...personally, I think it's the first one, but what do other people think?

I always pronounce it like Ánduin, but I'm not sure if this is really right... :confused2:

I pronounce it AHN-dur-il.

I've heard people say it 'an' instead of 'ahn', so I guess either could be right.

Question #2: How is Anduin pronounced? I've always said it AHN-doo-in...

I say ANdurin. Buy any of the above could be used.

Let's see... I say AHN-doo-en [or in]. Pretty much the same. :)

Well, in Andúril the accent is on the u, meaning to put the stress on the second syllable.

And in Anduin... hmm.. as far as I remember there isn't any accents in that word, but I think I faintly remember that the stress will be on the third to last syllable of Elvish words, so it would be pronounced AHN-doo-een (of English speakers).

same here.. I always pronounced Anduril like ANduril, but now I'll change it of course (I normally don't watch out with the accents :blush:)

:confused2: Confusing! Wow, I've been pronouncing these wrong all along... :blush:

Okay...it's ahnDURil and ahnDUin. Right.

I don't get it.. I thought it was ANduin..

*points to earlier post*

I would still say it is anDUril because the accent goes on the u - Andúril

And ANduin because there is no accents.
But I cannot claim to an expert on Elvish.

Perhaps you should ask the question on the Language board. :angel:

yes that's what I also thought, but Riniel wrote it was anDUin, so I was a bit confused..

I say the second one, because that's how Elrond pronounced it, and it rings in my head.

Also it depend if you've got an accent as well (that isn't elvish, I mean naturally)

I'v always said anDUril, becuase i speak gaelic and elvish often looks very similer to me, thats how we would pronouce it anyway.
