andes Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 I'd go with sike-NOY-in and o-THERE weird-MAKE, but what do I know? Tyriks 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/371546-pronunciations/#findComment-5737529 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cactus Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Personally I think sike-NEW-in, but andes' comment aligns with how I recall them from the A Thousand Sons audiobook.

MARK0SIAN Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 I always imagined it as sike-new-wine but I don’t have anything to base that on. And pretty much like Andes says but a bit more emphasis at the end like o-THERE weird-Make-a Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/371546-pronunciations/#findComment-5737565 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrion Posted September 2, 2021 Author Share Posted September 2, 2021 I thought the Wyrd was Word, like Wyrm is Worm. Librarian - library - books - words - wyrds....Wyrdmake is just a Librarian....no? It was the Ohthere I was stuck on, like oh there ay rather than oh there.

It was the Ohthere I was stuck on, like oh there ay rather than oh there. The BL audiobooks use the weird (as in strange) pronunciation whenever space Wolves use it to talk about supernatural powers/fate etc. I haven’t listened to the audiobook with that particular character in though so can’t be 100% on the rest of his name.

byrd9999 Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 I go for Sike-New-In, and Oh there Weird-make (which always sounds very camp to me, but then again that's Space Wolves for you! ) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/371546-pronunciations/#findComment-5737588 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Idaho Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 (edited) Whilst on the subject, Tyranids... They herald from the planet Tyran, pronounced "tie-ran", yet people call them "Teeranids"? Seems off to me.

Valkyrion Posted September 2, 2021 Author Share Posted September 2, 2021 It is officially short ti-ruh-nid, not long tie-rah-nid - it's in a White Dwarf from the last couple of years. Think of it of Tyrant and Tyranny. A few others were in there too - Row bootay Gilly Man, Abba Don (though I use A bad 'un) etc Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/371546-pronunciations/#findComment-5737624 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Idaho Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Tyrant and Tryanny are pronounced differently though: "Tie-rant" "Tir-anny" What is the source for it being Tie-rah-nid? As White Dwarf is just written word I'm confused.

Valkyrion Posted September 2, 2021 Author Share Posted September 2, 2021 It isn't tie-rah-nid, like tyrant - it's ti-ruh-nid, like tyranny. Typically, the new warhammer vault only has white dwarf going back to January 2020 and the article I'm talking about is in, you guessed it, December 2019. https://www.warhammer-community.com/2019/12/06/white-dwarf-preview-decembergw-homepage-post-3/ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/371546-pronunciations/#findComment-5737647 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LameBeard Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 If I remember that article Phil Kelly was stating his preference for tir-a-nid (shared by most of the studio) but acknowledging there was some basis for tie-ran-id.

byrd9999 Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Originally named after the planet Tyran (Tie-ran), Tyranids were pronounced similar to Tie-ran-o-saurus. But people look at it and see Tir-a-nid, so that has become prevalent, even among the Studio, although there is scope for the previous pronunciation. I say Tir-a-nid.

Xenith Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Originally named after the planet Tyran (Tie-ran), Tyranids were pronounced similar to Tie-ran-o-saurus. Valkyrions comment above though is that despite it being Tie-ran, it's tih-run-ids, in the same manner that Tyrant and Tyranny are tie-rant and tih-run-knee. I pronouce Sike-NEW-IN, but I can see it being Sike-noy-in, also Oather-weird-make. Wolves are amazingly literal, so just bang two words together, like calling killing "murder-make". So wyrdmake is someone that makes wyrd (psychic powers). Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/371546-pronunciations/#findComment-5737730 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenzaburo Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Funnily enough both pronunciations sought have been covered by BL audio. There it was indeed sike-new-in and Oh-ther Weird-make. Still, BL audio pronunciation isn't wholly set in stone. There have been several narrators pronouncing Roboute Guilliman differently. The predominant form seems to be Row-bootay Gilly-man.

Cerberus1775 Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 With the many subdialects and language families we all speak I do not believe that there is one correct pronunciation. Go with what rolls off the tongue naturally. It wont be that far off from what others are saying.

Wyrd is an old spelling of weird. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/weird#English Though Urd would be the more norse form.

Karhedron Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 My family doesn't even agree on the correct pronunciation of "scone" so what chance do we have with made-up words? P.S. It is is pronounced to rhyme with "gone".
