How does one pronounce Xxiphu?
I keep thinking of it as 'sissy poo' but that's definitely wrong. |

I like "Zyfoo" myself, but that's only because I've got some other long-established aboleth-lore in my Realms, and my pronunciation of Xxiphu works with that material.
Otherwise, "Zeefoo" works for me as well.

Zeefoo is how I would pronounce it... if I wasn't ignoring it.  |

I'd pronounce it something like "zksifoo", with the "s" drawn out, and the stress on the "zks" part, based on the fact that "x" at the beginning of a name normally makes the "z" sound (as in Xvim), and the drawn-out "s" and early stress make it seem more otherworldly (in my opinion, of course). |

For what it's worth, I'd pronounce Xiphu as 'kseefoo' and Xxiphu as 'kzeefoo'. |

HELLo!
I'd pronounce id as "seefoh", or something quite similar to that in English. Might also be "chifuh", or some variant thereof, if they're using Chinese pronunciation.
Happy playin'! |
