A TIME OF WAR

Days of Blood and Fire




KATHARINE KERR




Pronunciation Notes



Vowels are divided by Deverry scribes into two classes: noble and common. Nobles have two
pronunciations; commons, one.



A as in father when long; a shorter version of the same sound, as in far, when short.

O as in bone when long; as in pot when short.

W as the oo in spook when long; as in roof when short.

Y as the i in machine when long; as the e in butter when short.

E as in pen.

I as in pin.

U as in pun.

Vowels are generally long in stressed syllables; short in unstressed. Y is the primary exception to this
rule. When it appears as the last letter of a word, it is always long whether that syllable is stressed or not.

Diphthongs generally have one consistent pronunciation.

AE as the a in mane.
