Q'iq'el Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 Going back to Sonnia Criid though, I don't know why but it sounds like a Dutch name to me. I have completely no idea how to pronounce that, but I wouldn't be surprised by some sort of Zohnyah Kreet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchethead Posted July 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 I'd say that's easily the name with the most variations, at least in my neck of the woods. Son-ya Crid and Son-eye-ah Creed are the most common, but by no means the only variants I've heard recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dire Hoarcat Snuggler Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 Some of the worst I've heard or seen... Malefaux (on official releases from the LGS about our events for several months despite reminders on proper spelling sent to the calendar guy) "Perditia" "Seemus" "Madame Syrabelle" "Nicodemus" (I don't know how anyone gets that out of the name Nicodem) "Fry-corpse" ~J~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dire Hoarcat Snuggler Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 Ikiryo has no English equivalent, but it's a manifestation of a part of a persons soul when they harder a grudge against another and detach that art of their spirit to inflict harm on their target. Another form of Ikiryo is soul of a person that has separated from a person whilst extremely sick or injured to the point where they cannot physically interact wih the world. The best English substitute would be the term "wraith," which is best described as an apparition of someone that appears before they even die (and after in some circumstances). That word has an obscure etymology, but it trace back through an adopted Germanic word in Scottish Gaelic, the origins of which may lie in an ancient Norse term, Vörðr: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V%C3%B6r%C3%B0r ~J~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchethead Posted July 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 "Seemus". That one gets bandied about quite a bit, doesn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
