icelus Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Yes, so I realize that the word "drow" is pronounced as rhyming with "cow." But, before I looked into the "canon" way to pronounce the word, am I the only one who felt that it should be pronounced as rhyming with "mow?" There will be no bloody poll. Link to comment
Celissa Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 I agree, Icelus. I always used to think of the word with a long 'o' sound - in fact, that was the way we pronounced it in my earliest PNP groups. Twas only later that I learned the error of my ways, but I still *think* of it with a long 'o,' even if it is wrong. I do manage to say it properly when I'm doing voicing, though! Link to comment
Andyr Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 I always thought it rhymed with Cow, yeah. Link to comment
Kulyok Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 I've just been listening to Korgan's soundset, and I winced every time he said "DrAAAU". It had always been "DrOOOw" in my head, whatever they say in the game. Link to comment
Domi Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 I always pronounced it as 'cow', but I am not sure why. I don't have the problem with the other pronouncation either. Link to comment

BevH Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 I, too, have always thought of it as rhyming with cow. However, my daughter, many years ago, informed me that it's pronounced to rhyme with know. When I finally told her I was right, she just shrugged. Link to comment
trance1881 Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Ok im confused so what is the proper way of prenounciing Drow. is it pronounced with to rhyme with know or cow? Link to comment
BigRob Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 The proper way is rhyming with cow. Even though I always thought it rhymed with know. You gotta love the total inconsitency of English as a language, don't you? Link to comment

You gotta love the total inconsitency of English as a language, don't you? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I do believe Drow is rhyming with Crow. Same letters, same color, same behavior, almost same word...Yup me I'm sure it should be said like Crow and not like Cow. Draauuwww or Drow ? I vote for Drow... Link to comment

Rabain Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drow Wikipedia says it is pronounced drau, where the au form a dipthong that is pronounced to rhyme with now. On a side note I think Korgan's pronunciation is more a result of his scot's accent than the voice-actor mispronouncing it. Link to comment
