Interview #208: Robert Jordan’s Blog: THE GASP MOMENT, Entry #3

Robert Jordan

On a lighter note, I understand that some of you are unhappy with the pronunciation of Taim’s name.

Sorry, guys, but it is tah-EEM, not tame. Never tame. Not that one. In the same vein, Shaido is shah-EE-doh, not SHY-doh.

For a few others that I understand some folks have trouble with:

Siuan—swan.

Demandred—deh-MAN-drehd.

Seanchan—SHAWN-chan.

Seandar—SHAWN-dahr.

Moiraine—mwah-RAIN.

Mandragoran—man-drah-GORE-ahn.

Maybe I’ll give you a few others another time.

Footnote

This pronunciation of Demandred contradicts the glossary .
