Lunar Centurion Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Me and my friend got in an argument over how to pronounce Primarch. I think it's pry-mark, he thinks it's prim-ark. So, I'll let you guys decide. How do you pronounce it? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/318239-how-do-you-pronounce-primarch/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kol Saresk Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Weird thing to get into an argument over, but I say "pry-mark". And so do the Black Library audiobooks IIRC.

Raktra Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 As in the shop. "Fulgrim the Illuminator, Cheap-crap Provider of the Emperor's Children" doesn't quite flow as well though.

Zebulon Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Speaking personally, I pronounce the "Pri" bit as in "prying eyes" the "ar" bit like "who are you" and the "ch" bit as in "Loch Lomond" - mostly to avoid it sounding like I'm talking about the chain of shops.
