Also shouldn't 'Ungoliant' be pronounced something like 'oon-goll-ee-ahnt'?
This always struck me because they generally seem to do a decent job of pronouncing things correctly (ói and ái in Dwarf-names being the most egregious exception to my ear).
I say Dol-Gooldoor, and Oon-go-lee-aunt (like they say aunt in Brittain (here most people say it the same way as the animal ant))
