How Are Y'all Pronouncing "Liralarue?"

I was trying to say "lee-RAH-loo-RAY," but I stumble over it every. Single. Time.

While I would pronounce it much like you are, I think it is easier to say 'lee-Rah-lah-ROO'...

It's like this:

LEER-ah-la-roo

(If it helps... think of it spelled as Lira La Rue, then just get rid of those spaces between the three separate words.)

Interesting.

Lira La Rue is literally "will read the street" in French.

I can confirm that is a coincidence.

Turns out if you name enough things made-up words in English but try to adhere to various logical rules of word construction and don't just make random strings of letters, you'll end up doing something like this more often than you'd think!

THAT SAID It's kind of an interesting coincidence, given Liralarue's focus on divination and spying.

It must have been Pharasma's intervention, back when prophecy worked. (tongue in cheek)

Serendipity happens!
