Pronunciation of Iomedea

[Haldir]

I tried a search but my search-fu is lacking & couldn't find anything, but was curious is it pronounced Eye-oh-me-dee-ah?

or something else?

reminds too much of Iomega, ha ha

thanks for any help

I don't have an offical answer for you..

But we call her 'Mm-oh-dae'

Sometimes 'Eye-ah-mah-dae'

I'd like to know!

And while we're at it.. Iomedae ("All Day, Every Day," as Mike McArtor says..) keeps coming up in discussion. She needs to be detailed ASAP. Howabout her paragraph write-up in the future Gazeteer!? Makes a nice compliment to the new Iconic!

haha kinda funny during the RPG Superstar judging, the judges comment that they dislike hard to pronounce names, but here we have Iomedea. I have five ways to pronounce it, none sound right.

Best I have come up with for me is EYE-mah-Day-ah

[Erik Mona]

Part of the problem is that the OP misspelled the name of the goddess.

It's Iomedae, not Iomedea.

Eye-OH-ma-day.

Yes . . . you do . . . but now the question is what do you owe your day?

Your true hearts second desire. The seventh Grandson of your seventh grandson. Your fourth most precious memory. Your sense of accomplishment for every difficult task you undertake. The respect of your enemies.

Still a funny sounding name... :)

makes me hum a song though...

Iomedea, Ioemedea, Iomedea
In the jungle, the mighty jungle
the lion sleeps tonight
Iomedae, Iomedea, Iomedea

I shore do luv me them Zulu hunting songs.

whoops, could have swore that was the way it was spelled (then again spelling was never my strong point). Oh well, got the answer anyways

thanks Eric

Drat if only it was Imodea, we could've had a great song called "Rock Me Imodea"

Me and my friends were always pronouncing it Ee-oh-ma-day but I see now we must correct it to Eye =p

[Stedd Grimwold]

Well since Erik has spoken, its largely moot, but hell with it.

I pronounce it Ee-YOH-ma-day...I call it ghetto latin.

[Christopher Adams]

I personally read it as "eye-OM-ah-day". Short O, in other words.
