How do you pronounce... - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

When my Dad read LotR aloud to us, I'm not sure how much he knew about the languages. So thus, I learned these words as:

Seleborn
Izzengard
The Izzen
Izzledur
Andooin
Anduhril
etc. (I still stick with these pronounciations.

)

He also didn't bother with the elvish poems, and I vividly remember his rendition of the Black Speech:

"Arsh Glarsh Arsh Glarsh Arsh Glarsh!"

Ah, memories.
