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...  _________________ <center>

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...

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  )

Okay...it's ahnDURil and ahnDUin. Right. _________________ <center> all we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us

*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.  _________________ >>Be the change you wish to see in the world<<

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.

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